Washington and the Rodríguez begin negotiations for the Venezuelan transition with Machado on the sidelines

Talks between the government of Delcy Rodríguez and the opposition, aimed at building a transition towards the holding of elections in Venezuela, are resuming this week with a new meeting between the President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, and Dinorah Figuera, the opposition leader chosen by Washington to lead the negotiations.

On Wednesday, Figuera arrived at Barcelona airport, about 300km from Caracas, to begin the first round of meetings. Little is still known about the agenda that both parties will follow. “It is not an easy task, it requires technical input and also includes the treatment of the consequences of the double earthquake in La Guaira. This will be a priority issue,” Figuera said as soon as she landed.
