927 people charged with 'incitement to hatred' since 2017, Foro Penal says; VTV defends the reform and the opposition demands repeal

Delcy Rodríguez said on VTV: 'We have sent the National Assembly a proposal to reform the hate law, for democratic coexistence and for tolerance.' The state channel devoted special programs to the partial reform, which VTV says 'will strengthen civic coexistence', and recalled that the law was passed by the Constituent Assembly in 2017.

According to VPItv, Foro Penal reported that at least 927 people have been charged with incitement to hatred since 2017. Sergio Novelli reported that the Plataforma Unitaria demanded immediate repeal and that six people remain detained under that law. César Miguel Rondón asked why Delcy Rodríguez wants to reform it rather than repeal it.
