The government of Venezuela published a new law to regulate NGOs in the country, with a focus on transparency in funding and activities.
The law requires NGOs to disclose all external funding and donations, and to register with the authorities to ensure legality of resources.
The classification of NGOs under the new legislation includes a wide range of non-profit organizations with specific criteria for their non-partisan nature.
The law has sparked debate and criticism, with some accusing it of targeting organizations involved in political activities that are deemed as destabilizing by the government.
