Delcy Rodríguez told the UN that Venezuela will vote, but with no date set
The acting president said at the General Assembly that elections will be held and maintained that the call will come “at the right time.” She also thanked Donald Trump for the rapprochement between Caracas and Washington.
Delcy Rodríguez said this Wednesday before the UN General Assembly that there will be elections in Venezuela, although she avoided setting a timetable and said it will be the Venezuelan people who determine “the right time” to call them.
During her remarks, she said her government opened talks with opposition sectors to establish participation conditions for all political forces and argued that institutions must guarantee an inclusive and transparent process. According to Todo Noticias, she also linked the election call to the country’s economic situation and stressed that Venezuela should reach that stage without restrictions that condition its development.
Crónica added that Rodríguez spoke of an orderly transition toward a “full democracy,” defended a legal reform led by the institutions and said an election “must be a solution, not a generator of irreconcilable conflicts.”
In her speech, the acting president also thanked Donald Trump for his willingness to resume diplomatic and cooperative relations with Venezuela. The gesture came after the meeting they held in New York during the United Nations high-level week.
According to Todo Noticias, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the meeting addressed elections, political transition and economic reconstruction in Venezuela.
Rodríguez’s statement comes amid the debate over when and under what conditions elections will be held during the transition opened after the capture of Nicolás Maduro. According to Todo Noticias, María Corina Machado has been calling for an election as part of a democratic transition.
