VENEZUELA: Returning to the negotiating table?
As Venezuela’s 2024 presidential election looms, the opposition is hoping for one last chance to level the playing field with some democratic concessions from President Nicolás Maduro. Negotiations between the government and the opposition seem poised to resume in Mexico. But hopes for a breakthrough will be muted, and the challenge facing the opposition was made clear on 9 October when one of its leading candidates, Henrique Capriles Radonski, pulled out of the 22 October primary election being held by the Plataforma Unitaria Democrática (PUD) coalition. Capriles attributed his withdrawal to a ban on him holding public office – a situation also faced by two other leading candidates in the primary.
