VENEZUELA: Opposition proposes plans for next steps
On 19 December, representatives of the Venezuelan opposition, the business sector, students, oil experts, and trade unionists met in the Chacao Cultural Centre in Caracas to draw up a macroeconomic and social action plan, which they have described as an initiative to restore democracy, bring about economic recovery, and overcome the country’s humanitarian crisis. There is a large dose of wishful thinking about the so-called ‘Plan País: El Día Después’, or ‘Country Plan: The Next Day’. Its proponents are hoping in part to influence government policy, but also to have in place an agreed set of next steps should the administration led by President Nicolás Maduro collapse.
