  "summary": "Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez has promised that elections will be held in the country as part of a transition to \"full democracy\". In her first address to the UN General Assembly since taking power, Rodriguez stated that the nation's people will determine the \"right moment\" for the elections, but did not provide a specific date.\n\nAccording to Rodriguez, the government has initiated talks with the opposition and will guarantee the participation of all political forces. She also mentioned that national institutions are being prepared for the electoral process. The process is described as an \"orderly, institutional, and verifiable\" one aimed at building a \"freer, more prosperous, and more reconciled\" country.\n\nThe need for elections in Venezuela has been emphasized by both Venezuelan and US authorities, but no date has been set yet. The opposition views the selection of an autonomous Supreme Court and National Electoral Council as essential for calling elections, as per the South China Morning Post.",
