Venezuela opposition leader Maria Corina Machado says she is willing to negotiate with the country’s interim government to set a path toward presidential elections. According to the accounts, Machado frames the talks around returning to electoral politics and supporting a process for choosing a president. One report states that Machado seeks an approach that is backed by the United States, while another describes her “determination” to pursue negotiation with the interim leader and calls for US involvement to help promote the talks. The two sources agree that Machado is putting forward a willingness to engage politically rather than solely opposing the interim administration. While the reports emphasize the goal of restoring democracy and holding elections, they do not provide details on the proposed agenda, timelines, or specific terms of any negotiation. The statements position Machado and the interim government as the main parties in prospective talks, with the US cited as a supportive influence in advancing a negotiated outcome.
