The Supreme Tribunal of Justice of Venezuela (TSJ) has declared constitutional a new law aimed at accelerating and streamlining administrative procedures. This law, recently passed by the National Assembly, is intended to provide a legal framework for a decisive fight against excessive bureaucracy, red tape, and inefficiency in state institutions. The court noted that these long-standing problems directly affected citizens' ability to exercise their fundamental rights, and that the new act is a necessary structural reform.
The law is based on the principles of efficiency, promptness, and the elimination of unnecessary steps in the work of agencies. Its implementation is expected to dramatically reduce the time required to process citizens' requests and optimize the use of public resources. With the final judicial approval, all public institutions must immediately begin the process of technological and administrative adaptation to bring their operations into compliance with the new requirements by 2026.
