The first cycle of dialogue between chavismo and opposition concluded in Caracas, with meetings held at the Gran Meliá hotel.
The talks addressed the aftermath of the June 24 earthquakes and the reinstitutionalization of the Supreme Court and the National Electoral Council.
The opposition delegation received activists and civil society representatives advocating for freedom of expression, release of political prisoners, and salary increases.
The dialogue was initiated after the capture of Nicolás Maduro by US troops in January, with a first phone contact on August 1.
