The claims, made testable

Pattern: 516 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on Political dialogue, Venezuela opposition, US mediation, Elections.
What would change the assessment
- If the joint statement is not followed by a second meeting by August 12, 2025, the reported 'permanent session' claim is weakened. (within 30 days — El Pitazo or other Venezuelan news outlets)
- If the US does not issue any official statement or action regarding the dialogue within 90 days, the claim of US facilitation is less substantiated. (within 90 days — US State Department press releases)
