Ángel Aristimuño stated that a coalition of more than 70 freed and persecuted political figures appointed him, Roberto Marrero, and Américo De Grazia to negotiate with the 2015 National Assembly.
In closed meetings, the coalition requested the release of political prisoners, replacement of the Supreme Court, and a new National Electoral Council.
The public agenda announced between delegations does not explicitly include political prisoner releases, creating a gap between private demands and stated topics.
Sessions began Thursday, August 6, with delegations indicating an end date of Wednesday; six opposition members and five government representatives are listed as direct participants.

What's still unverified
- Identity and mandate of the 70+ ex-detained figure coalition — Aristimuño's claim of their authorization is unverified.
- Whether the government delegation formally acknowledged or rejected the demand for political prisoner releases.
- Whether political prisoner liberation will appear in any joint statement or agreement, given the discrepancy between private requests and the public agenda.
- Full scope and timeline of negotiations — only a single session week is mentioned without details on duration or planned rounds.
