Venezuela's opposition-led congress has approved a new law that that allows introduction of more judges into the country’s Supreme Court of Justice. Opposition leaders say the law takes the court out of the government’s control. However, officials say the motion is aimed at building a pro-opposition majority of judges to launch an impeachment against President Nicolas Maduro. From Caracas Press TV’s correspondent Jesus Silva tells us the story.
