  • Speculation is mounting over opposition leader Dinorah Figuera's potential arrival in Caracas for political negotiations with the Venezuelan government.
  • Reports suggest Figuera's visit and possible meetings with officials, including those from the Delcy Rodríguez administration or the U.S. Embassy, may not be coordinated with María Corina Machado's team or aligned with the Panama Agreement.
  • Various journalists and analysts suggest these movements could be part of U.S. efforts to foster political transition and economic recovery, with some claiming Figuera has Washington's backing but lacks support from key Venezuelan opposition factions.

Rumors are swirling about opposition figure Dinorah Figuera's potential arrival in Caracas, fueling speculation about political negotiations between opposition sectors and the ruling party. While no official confirmation of the trip or meetings with government representatives has been made, several journalists and analysts have reported on developing political movements.

Journalist Carla Angola noted that Figuera's alleged arrival and potential meetings with officials from the Delcy Rodríguez administration or the U.S. Embassy might not be coordinated with María Corina Machado's team or fit within the framework of the Panama Agreement. Angola suggested these efforts could be aimed at creating political conditions conducive to an economic recovery potentially driven by a Donald Trump administration and exploring scenarios for a political transition.

Further reports indicate that the United States may have initiated a "phase 3" in Venezuela, potentially backing Figuera as a negotiator to discuss the formation of a new National Electoral Council. Alejandro Hernández, citing internal opposition sources, stated that Figuera was expected to arrive on a commercial flight and reportedly has Washington's support, but not that of the Unitary Platform or María Corina Machado.

These developing versions have raised significant questions within the Venezuelan opposition. Key inquiries include whom Figuera would be negotiating on behalf of, how her potential involvement would impact the Unitary Platform's recent endorsement of Machado as the central figure for negotiations with Chavismo, and whether these movements could exacerbate internal divisions within the Primero Justicia party.
