Renowned Venezuelan historian Margarita López Maya has expressed doubt regarding the sincerity of the "openness" recently displayed by the Maduro government during dialogue talks. In an interview, López Maya cautioned against placing trust in these gestures, suggesting they may not be sustainable. She implied a lack of concrete guarantees that this shift in approach will endure. The historian’s comments stem from a long-held skepticism towards the ruling socialist party, known as Chavismo. López Maya’s warning comes as negotiations attempt to address Venezuela’s deep political and economic crises. The interview appeared on the program *Noche D* of TalCual media.
