Venezuela’s interim government and opposition to begin formal talks
- The interim government of Venezuela has announced it will begin formal talks with the opposition aimed at “strengthening democracy” in the country.
- The move is backed by the US, which says it is seeking a “democratic transition” in a country still recovering from the twin earthquakes that killed more than 4,700 people.
- However, contrary to what many parties and voters had expected, the opposition will not be represented in the talks by the Nobel laureate María Corina Machado, the country’s most popular opposition figure.
