The Venezuelan opposition has shifted its stance on the upcoming government transition which was planned for early-25. Previously they insisted on a strict January time-frame but now show more open-minded approach to the schedule
In a complex political landscape Maria Corina Machado remains out-of-sight within Venezuelaʼs borders; while presidential hopeful Edmundo González stays in self-imposed exile in Spain (both trying to avoid potential legal issues). The situation gets more interesting as the constitutionally-required swearing-in date comes closer — its just about a month away
The oppositionʼs new position shows a break from their earlier hard-line stance: this marks a significant change in their political strategy. The move comes during a time when key opposition figures cant freely move around the country which adds extra complications to the pre-election process
The timing of this policy shift is tied to the upcoming presidential vote scheduled for mid-year; making the whole situation more time-sensitive than ever before
