Macron said on Thursday that “the negotiation between the regime and the opposition has to be resumed as soon as possible in Mexico, first with a humanitarian agreement and then I hope with political guarantees at the next meeting.”
“As a representative of the delegation of the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela before the dialogue, I participated in the V Paris Forum for Peace, France. We are convinced that the path of Venezuela is dialogue, the suspension of all illegal sanctions and respect for the Constitution,” Rodríguez wrote in a Twitter message.
The Presidents of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, and Argentina, Alberto Fernández, who were invited by Macron to address, among other issues, the situation in Venezuela, have also attended the Forum for Peace.
On Thursday, Macron said that “the negotiation between the regime and the opposition must be resumed as soon as possible in Mexico, first with a humanitarian agreement and then I hope with political guarantees at the next meeting.”
On October 17, it was a year since the opposition and the ruling party suspended the table in Mexico due to the extradition of Colombian Álex Saab to the United States, an official who has been defended by the Venezuelan government, alleging that he is a diplomat.
