Venezuela's democracy still broken, says opposition

[Zorro]

Venezuela's democracy remains broken despite a U-turn by the pro-government Supreme Court on its takeover of congress, the opposition said on Sunday, calling for the removal of judges on the top tribunal.

The tribunal's ruling last week that it was taking over functions of the opposition-led National Assembly triggered widespread international condemnation and brought accusations that President Nicolas Maduro had become a "dictator."

At the behest of the government, the Supreme Court eliminated the offending rulings on Saturday.

But Maduro opponents say no one should be kidded into thinking that means democracy had been restored in Venezuela.
