Venezuela’s Opposition Seeks Democracy Path | Global News

Venezuela’s interim government gears up for formal talks with opposition leaders starting August 1st, six months after the U.S. arrested Maduro on drug charges — a move that left loyalist Delcy Rodríguez in charge with Trump’s backing, frustrating opposition hopes for regime change. Both sides, including National Assembly head Jorge Rodríguez and former 2015-elected lawmakers, frame the talks as a “route map toward democracy,” citing the deadly June 24 earthquakes as a catalyst for unity. The opposition, bolstered by U.S. aid post-disaster, insists Venezuela isn’t alone — and insists on restoring fair elections, which have been boycotted or rigged since 2015. Led by Dinorah Figuera, who returned after nearly eight years abroad, the opposition seeks to turn crisis into opportunity for democratic renewal.
