Venezuela, the opposition asks the government to renew the electoral authority

The renewal of the National Electoral Council (Cne) and the revision of the rules regulating the functioning of political parties will be among the central themes of the new round of political negotiations in Venezuela, scheduled for November 12. This was announced by Dinorah Figuera, opposition leader and head of the negotiating delegation, underlining the need for reforms to restore democratic institutions and guarantee a level playing field in future electoral competitions.

At the center of the discussion will be above all the independence of the electoral authority, called upon to guarantee transparency and credibility in the next voting processes. The revision of the law on parties also aims to restore political rights and ensure the participation of different political forces. The new meeting, which will be attended by representatives of the various political sectors and which will take place with the support of the United States, is part of the negotiation process launched to agree on institutional reforms and conditions for greater democratic opening in the country.
