The Venezuelan supreme court has reversed its ruling to strip congress of its legislative powers.
It made the decision after the government of President Nicolas Maduro urged it to review the ruling "to maintain institutional stability".
The initial decision - announced on Wednesday - had been denounced as a "coup" by the opposition, which dominates the National Assembly.
Anti-government protesters have staged daily protests against the move.
