Venezuela’s Rodriguez promises elections
The interim president says national institutions are being prepared for the electoral process and would guarantee the participation of all political forces.
Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez asserted during a UN General Assembly address on Wednesday that her country will conduct elections as part of a transition towards full democracy. Although Rodriguez did not specify a date for the vote, she emphasized that the government has initiated dialogue with the opposition and intends to involve all political forces. The president also stated that national institutions are being prepared for the electoral process.
Rodriguez, who assumed power following the January raid that captured former President Nicolas Maduro, met with US President Donald Trump on Tuesday. She commended Trump for resuming dialogue with Venezuela. In her remarks, Rodriguez expressed optimism, stating that this is the opportune moment to rebuild the nation that many desire to return to. However, she cautioned that the country's recovery would necessitate time.
