Venezuela's interim president calls for peace through talks with opposition
Delcy Rodriguez urges respectful dialogue with rivals to forge agreements for peace, weeks after Maduro's ouster, as tensions shape Venezuela's future.
Venezuela's interim President Delcy Rodriguez called on Saturday for discussions with the opposition to reach "agreements" for peace. Speaking on state television from La Guaira, she stressed that despite political differences, peace must come first, and that all parties should speak to one another with respect. "Despite our differences, we must speak to each other with respect. Despite our differences, we must come together and reach agreements," Rodriguez said.
The call comes about three weeks after the United States ousted her former boss, Nicolas Maduro, a move that has reverberated through Venezuela's political scene. Rodriguez framed the outreach as a step toward resolving long-standing disputes with Washington through direct dialogue rather than confrontation.
Observers describe the appeal as an effort to open channels of communication amid external pressure and internal divisions. By urging respectful, constructive discussions aimed at tangible agreements, Rodriguez signaled a push to reframe Venezuela's political dialog and seek a path to peace beyond partisan divides.
