The first structured dialogue between Venezuela's interim Rodríguez government and US-backed opposition groups — two years after disputed elections that returned Maduro to power — represents a tentative...
Folha de S.Paulo emphasizes that the dialogue begins 'without María Corina,' the opposition's most prominent figure, and explicitly states it occurs 'under US supervision,' implying the opposition has been constrained and the US-backed process excludes the most visible opposition voice. Korea Herald presents the transition talks neutrally as 'beginning in person,' without evaluative framing of inclusivity or exclusion.
El Tiempo reports Delcy Rodríguez conditioning elections on 'readiness,' suggesting the regime retains leverage to delay elections, but the same outlet separately reports worker protests 'demanding immediate elections,' presenting contradictory political pressures. Folha reports the dialogue was postponed until 'next week' from the initially planned start, treating timing uncertainty as significant.
