Venezuela’s National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez met with Dinorah Figuera, a former opposition parliament leader, in Caracas on June 18th. The meeting, held at the Federal Legislative Palace, resulted in an agreement to establish a working table for discussions. Figuera led the parliament elected in 2015, which held a majority opposition. Details regarding the scope and objectives of this working table remain limited. This meeting represents a potential, albeit preliminary, step towards dialogue between the ruling party and the opposition. The move could signal an attempt to address the ongoing political crisis in Venezuela. Further developments are expected as the working table is formally constituted and begins its work.
