总检察长、国家选举委员会委员和最高法院法官任期早已届满，但他们的继任者迟迟没有得到人名，因为马杜罗不愿与反对派展开谈判，又无法达到任命他的心仪人选所必须的国民大会三分之二多数。
Terms in office have expired for the prosecutor-general, members of the national election commission, and supreme court justices, but no successors have been named, because Maduro is unwilling to negotiate with the opposition and lacks the two-thirds majority in the National Assembly needed to appoint officials of his choosing.
