Venezuelan opposition leader confirms talks with Unitary Platform

Opposition leader Dinorah Figuera has confirmed close coordination with the Unitary Platform coalition amid ongoing political dialogues in Venezuela. Figuera, president of the 2015-elected National Assembly, stated that opposition sectors have been exchanging views on the national political landscape and potential institutional agreements.

“

It's a Jorge Rodríguez that I saw differently and who has expressed that he has political will to resolve all these differences.

She highlighted extensive meetings with coalition representatives, noting one session lasted until 2 a.m. as they analyzed the country's situation. These discussions, Figuera explained, are part of a continuous consultation process among opposition actors, with efforts also focused on maintaining communication channels with international allies.

Figuera revealed she has facilitated discussions between Venezuelan opposition figures and U.S. State Department officials to share perspectives on a potential negotiated resolution to the political crisis. She also commented on her meeting with the president of the officialist National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, perceiving a different disposition and political will from him.

“

He will have to demonstrate to the country that his words are sincere or he will have to work to earn the credibility of the Venezuelan people.

However, Figuera stressed that Rodríguez's sincerity will depend on concrete actions. "He will have to demonstrate to the country that his words are sincere or he will have to work to earn the credibility of the Venezuelan people," she stated. Figuera emphasized that her efforts prioritize institutional reforms, including the formation of a new National Electoral Council, the release of political prisoners, the return of exiles, the recovery of political parties, and guarantees for freedom of expression.
