• Interview Juan Guaidó: "Zapatero tries to whitewash the dictatorship"

  • Venezuela Maduro responds to Guaidó that he is willing to negotiate

The revolution has only taken a few hours to lift the first obstacle against the negotiation proposed by the majority opposition.

The new National Electoral Council (CNE), under the control of Nicolás Maduro, has set a date for the local and regional elections in Venezuela: November 21.

A strategy that collides head-on with the national salvation agreement, which contemplates the need to start with an electoral schedule that also includes presidential and parliamentary elections.

"All my support as head of state for the unanimous call made by the CNE rectors for mega-elections," claimed the "son of Chávez," who has also shown himself willing to dialogue with "the entire opposition," but with reluctance usual.

Precisely the most important opposition parties are participating from this Friday in Bogotá in a

conclave

to unify positions with a view to a possible negotiation with the government.

Several of its main leaders have traveled to the neighboring country, in addition to those who connect via zoom.

Voluntad Popular (VP), the party of Juan Guaidó and the former political prisoner, Leopoldo López participate in the meeting;

Primero Justicia (PJ, center-right), which has Ambassador Tomás Guanipa and Deputy José Guerra, in addition to its coordinator, Foreign Minister Julio Borges;

the social democrat Acción Democrática (AD) and the social-Christian Un Nuevo Tiempo.

A unification of positions more urgent than ever that must resolve the strategies that each of them has drawn up around the agreement and the local elections called by the new electoral body, which is made up of three staunch militants of Chavismo and two opponents close to the thesis of the opponent

Henrique Capriles.

Chavismo had advanced negotiations with these minority opposition sectors, led by the former presidential candidate and the former deputy Stalin González, who intend to support local and regional leaders who want to stand in the elections. Neither of them participates in the Colombian opposition conclave.

"We have to show the real options so that our people decide their future.

We will not stay in rhetoric. Although it may not seem like it, in these times is where the community has the most opportunities to row without the political confrontation that has divided them," he reacted Capriles after the events that have given a 180 degree turn to Venezuelan political news.

In the interview granted to EL MUNDO hours after presenting the national salvation agreement to the country, Juan Guaidó announced that it is first necessary to reach a complete election schedule.

"These regional and local elections do not change the political reality of Venezuela or solve the fundamental crisis

that Venezuelans are going through," explained the president in charge.

The US and Spain support the negotiation attempt

The formation of a new CNE, received by the international community as a "first step", has continued a series of announcements, ranging from the revision of the current electoral registry to the first draft of

international observation,

defined as an "oversight "by the president of the electoral body, former minister Pedro Calzadilla.

Both Maduro and his "left hand", Jorge Rodríguez, president of the Chavista Parliament that emerged from last year's electoral fraud, have opened the door to holding negotiations between both parties with presidential mediation.

Norway would remain at the forefront of these efforts, backed by a club of friends that includes the European Union and Spain, and

which is intended to include the United States.

Striking were the statements of General Vladimir Padrino López, Defense Minister and strongman of the army, a transcendental piece among the generalate that keeps Maduro at the head of the country.

"We celebrate the opening of new paths for peace," said Padrino.
