Dinorah Figuera to convene democratic sectors for dialogue with Chavismo

Dinorah Figuera, president of the 2015 opposition-aligned National Assembly, announced that all democratic sectors will be invited to participate in upcoming dialogues with representatives of the current Venezuelan government.

The formal talks are scheduled to commence on August 1. Figuera stated that the intention is to broaden the discussion and collectively build a political roadmap. This roadmap aims to facilitate institutional changes and pave the way for an electoral solution within the framework of conversations agreed upon with Jorge Rodríguez, president of the National Assembly.

the intention is to broaden the discussion and build a political path toward institutional changes and an electoral solution.

Figuera highlighted that the initiative seeks to enrich the "reinstitutionalization" agenda and promote a "peaceful and democratic electoral transition." She specifically underscored the importance of the United States' active participation, asserting that it will be fundamental in advancing the process and achieving tangible results.

The dialogue process was announced the previous week amid a national emergency following a significant earthquake. Figuera's engagement with Jorge Rodríguez began earlier, with her return to Venezuela in June to develop a "strategic plan for democracy," reportedly with U.S. backing. The initiative has sparked debate within the opposition, with figures like María Corina Machado and Edmundo González Urrutia evaluating the path forward.

the participation active of the United States will be fundamental to drive this process and generate concrete advances.
