Summary
Venezuela’s political landscape is shifting as new talks aim to rebuild democracy after years of socialist rule, sparked by the U.S.-led capture of Nicolás Maduro. With U.S. support, pro-government and former opposition lawmakers are meeting in Caracas to craft a national plan — not a power grab, but a path toward reconciliation. The U.S. is focused on stabilization, recovery, and eventual democratic transition without imposing election rules, especially amid earthquake recovery efforts. Key goals include transforming protest movements into legitimate parties, ensuring free media, fair elections, and safe voting. Analysts caution that full democracy remains distant, but restoring basic rights and establishing credible electoral processes could be the first steps toward lasting change.
