🔴#BreakingNews | The Nicolás Maduro government and the US-backed Venezuelan opposition signed an agreement laying out conditions for upcoming presidential elections. With mediation from Norway, the two parties met in Barbados on Tuesday, resuming talks that had been suspended for nearly a year. The signed agreement saw the two parties agree to hold the presidential vote in the latter half of 2024. Other electoral conditions set out include the update of the electoral registry, the implementation of presently existing audits and the invitation of international observation missions from organizations including the African Union, the European Union and the Carter Center. Furthermore, the two sides pledged to recognize the results, and that all actors should have full electoral guarantees. They also agreed that each party should be free to choose its candidate. However, the wording did not state that politicians currently barred from political office would have their bans lifted. https://venezuelanalysis.com/news/venezuelan-government-opposition-dialogue/
