US cites tangible results from third Venezuela dialogue round

The United States said the third round of Venezuela's dialogue table produced tangible results, including an agreement to revise repressive laws and steps toward renewing the Supreme Court.

Why it matters: Washington presents the talks as its three-phase route to a peaceful democratic transition, but the opposition's central demand, a date for presidential elections, remains unmet.

State Department spokesman Thomas Pigott said in an official statement on Thursday that the third round of the dialogue table between the chavista government and the National Assembly of 2015 produced tangible results, including an agreement to review and modify several repressive laws and progress toward renewing the Supreme Court through the judicial nominations committee, whose 12 civil society representatives were sworn in that day. Pigott also credited the process with restoring access to more than 70 previously blocked websites, an agreement to recover Bank of England gold reserves for earthquake victims, and efforts to reform the Anti-Hate Law, all within a three-phase United States plan toward a peaceful democratic transition after the January capture of Nicolás Maduro. The statement came the same day acting leader Delcy Rodríguez met the 2015 Assembly’s president, Dinorah Figuera, at Miraflores, and afterward criticized mobilizations by Vente Venezuela demanding a date for presidential elections; El Pitazo carried no statement from Figuera or the opposition.
