Are people still claiming that Venezuela isn't a democracy?

It's classified as a hybrid regime in the Democracy Index. Like in for instance Turkey, the voting process itself seems to be mostly free (no vote rigging). But democracy is about more than putting a paper in a ballot box. Independent media is supressed and the judiciary is politicized. That may change now though, with the opposition winning almost 3/5 majority.

What will the opposition - practically speaking - be able to do with this majority? I hear the appointment of ministers is the perogative of the president, so that's out. Perhaps provide amnesty for Leopoldo Lopez and others like him?
