The US clarified that the sanctions against Venezuela will only be discussed within the framework of the dialogue between Chavismo and the opposition in Mexico
Any decision by the United States to lift sanctions on the Nicolás Maduro regime, including in the oil sector, will be based on negotiations between the opposition and Chavismo in Mexico.This was stated by Juan González, the main adviser for Latin America to US President Joe Biden.
“It is very clear that on one side of the table are the Venezuelans who want a return to democracywhere there has to be a fair electoral process that determines the democratic self-determination of Venezuela, and on the other side there is a regime that is maintaining the status quo. Our message, and it is something with which the international community is with us, is that any response from us will be based on the results of the dialogue table.”, González pointed out in an interview with WRadius.
The main adviser for Latin America was emphatic in stating that this is the position of the US and its allies in Europe. “The only route ahead is Mexico and the results in Mexico”, he reiterated.
González pointed out that they maintain a fluid dialogue with the interim government of Juan Guaidó and said that he is the primary interlocutor for Washington.
On March 7, Nicolás Maduro announced the reactivation “with great force” of a process of dialogue with the opposition, paralyzed five months ago.
Maduro ordered to suspend the negotiationswhich were carried out in Mexico, in retaliation for the extradition to the United States by Cape Verde of Alex Saab, a close collaborator accused of money laundering and designated as a front man for the Chavista president.
“The dialogue in Mexico received a tremendous blow as you know, but if we are asking for dialogue for the world we have to set the example in the country and we are going to reformat the national dialogue process”, Maduro indicated then in a speech broadcast on state television.
Alex Saab, who received Venezuelan nationality and a diplomatic title, had been named as a member of the government delegationso his extradition in October was seen as a reason to stop the process that began in August 2021 and that did not reach any relevant agreement.
At the 2021 meeting in Mexico, the parties signed a memorandum of understanding, but did not make much progress on their purpose. According to Gerard Blydechief negotiator of the interim government of Venezuela, the performance “was not good” because they only reached two agreements, which could not be installed either, such as the defense of the Essequibo and social care.
