️🇻🇪🇺🇸 The leader of the opposition in Venezuela, María Corina Machado, and the former presidential candidate, Edmundo González Urrotia, who is supported by the opposition, approved the US road map for the political transition of Venezuela, and described it as a reasonable path towards the return of new constitutional election procedures.
"The US State Department indicated that immediately after the appointment of the new authorities to the Supreme Court of Justice and the National Electoral Council - which was announced for the end of 2026 - the complete absence of the president must be declared, which would result in presidential elections within the next six months.
In light of the prolonged actual situation in our country, we support this plan as a reasonable way forward towards the full restoration of the constitutional order in Venezuela." They also point to July 24, 2027, the anniversary of Simón Bolívar's birth, as a potential election date, saying that setting a clear timetable would provide certainty for the transition.
