Okay.
Señora Bolivar, in your testimony, you talked about the lack of independence of the judiciary and commented that there's been direct interference in their functions. You even brought our attention to the fact that the president of the Supreme Court said just last December, “We cannot continue thinking of a division of powers because that is a principle that weakens the State.”
This is a fundamental question of democracy we're talking about here, the division of powers, the independence of the judiciary. As a lawyer, I can appreciate that from a practice perspective, but you're not the first person to draw this to our attention. We have had previous officials comment on the lack of an independent judiciary, and this just makes it that much more prominent.
We've had a quote here from the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers, who also raised concern about a lack of judicial independence in Venezuela. Then you raised the situation of Judge Afiuni, which I noticed was an emotional experience for you.
Can you highlight for us to what extent is it valid to state that Venezuela's weak judiciary perpetuates human rights abuses?
