The Venezuelan government and opposition will resume talks on Monday, July 15 on the Caribbean island of Barbados. The two parties left last Wednesday accepting the establishment of a platform for permanent dialogue.
Very little information is available on the discussions between the government and the opposition in Barbados. But according to Norway, which plays the role of mediator, this silence is essential to eventually reach a political agreement.
However, we know that the talks revolve around six points, including the organization of the presidential election and the reinstatement of Parliament as a real legislative institution. The opposition-controlled National Assembly was sidelined for the benefit of the Constituent Assembly made up of supporters of President Nicolas Maduro.

The fate of the head of state is also on the menu of discussions, according to several news sites. In the case of an early presidential election, will he be a candidate or will he give way to another chavist leader? The name of the governor of the state of Miranda, Hector Rodriguez , circulates more and more as a possible political alternative to Nicolas Maduro. Which officially qualifies the negotiations of success.
His opponent, self-proclaimed interim president Juan Guaido wants to be more cautious. " These meetings are only a mediation of the Norwegian government and not a" dialogue ", " he said this weekend. One more mechanism according to him in a strategy that aims to obtain the departure of Nicolas Maduro and the organization of free and transparent elections.
