Venezuela's government and opposition will restart talks in Mexico with sanctions, political prisoners and elections on the table, but not the future of President Nicolas Maduro.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro gestures before casting his vote at a polling station in Simon Rodriguez school in Fuerte Tiuna, Caracas, on August 8, 2021 during the Socialist United Party of Venezuela primary elections to choose candidates ahead of the November’s mayor and governor election.
An organizational meeting is planned for Friday while the official start of the talks is set for August 30. “There could be a softening of certain sanctions on themes such as political prisoners and the institutional recognition of the opposition,” said Luis Vicente Leon, the director of pollsters Datanalisis.Guaido declared himself Venezuela’s president in 2019 through his position as parliament speaker.
Despite the rival presidential claims, Maduro never lost control of the country’s institutions, in particular the armed forces, while Guaido was replaced as parliament speaker after the opposition boycotted legislative elections in December.“The opposition has nothing to offer” other than “the relationship with those that do, which is the international community,” said Leon.
“The conditions are in place for an agreement to be reached if there is the will from both parties,” said Pedro Benitez, a columnist and university professor.
