Talks between envoys of Venezuelan President Maduro and opposition leader Guaido are underway in Oslo under Norwegian auspices – AFP, citing sources
President Maduro promised to show"good faith" ahead of the talks, which kicked off Monday, lasting well into the night, the sources say, adding that they could end on Wednesday.
The delivery of 58 tonnes of medical supplies was another tacit recognition from the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro that the country faces a humanitarian crisis.Maduro promised on Monday to show "good faith" ahead of a meeting in Norway between representatives of his government and those of opposition leader Guaido.
"We announce that the representatives of the main political actors in Venezuela have decided to return to Oslo next week to continue a process facilitated by Norway," the Scandinavian country's foreign ministry said in a statement. During a rally in the western state of Lara on Saturday, Guaido did not directly address the Norway talks but said the opposition would not repeat the errors of the past."That's why today we're in the streets."
The opposition won a majority in the National Assembly in 2015 and the next congressional elections are currently scheduled for late 2020. Maduro condemned the raid and called the police action a shameful, criminal, brutal and illegal act. Venezuela's Guaido has confirmed efforts in Norway to mediate between the opposition and Maduro's government.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric was asked on Thursday at UN headquarters in New York about possible UN participation in the process. Meanwhile, Cuba's first vice minister of foreign relations was in Norway on Tuesday and Wednesday as part of what his office called a tour of Scandinavian countries.A leader of the activists who have been staging a protest inside the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington for more than a month said four of them have been arrested.
Officials in Venezuela said representatives of the government and opposition have travelled to Norway for talks on resolving the political crisis in the South American country. The Supreme Court in a statement posted on its Facebook page accused lawmakers Carlos Paparoni, Miguel Pizarro, Franco Casella and Winston Flores of treason and inciting rebellion. The accusations marked the latest step in a crackdown by President Maduro on allies of opposition leader Guaido following a failed effort to spur a military 'coup' in April.
Economist Asdrubal Oliveros said some private institutions struggle to do international transactions because of US sanctions imposed in a campaign aimed at pressuring Maduro out of office. The Venezuelan government said that under the programme, applicants can take free flights back to Venezuela.A Venezuelan general called on the country's armed forces on Sunday to rise up against Maduro, who has relied on the backing of the military to hold on to power despite an economic collapse.
Rangel was an active military officer who fled to Colombia last month, according to a source close to Venezuela's military who asked not to be identified.Guaido said he's instructed his political envoy in Washington to immediately open relations with the US military. Earlier this week, US Navy Adm. Craig Faller said he would meet with Guaido when invited to discuss the future role of Venezuela's armed forces.A modest crowd of Venezuelans took to the streets Saturday to show support for the opposition-led Congress.
"Hopefully wisdom prevails for the authorities of the other islands," El Aissami said in a broadcast on state television, "and they avoid becoming instruments of aggression against the territory of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela."Venezuelan intelligence agents detained opposition leader Guaido's congressional deputy on Wednesday.
The court, announcing the ruling in a statement, said it had asked Attorney General Tarek William Saab “to continue the criminal investigation of this case.”Five people died and 233 were arrested in protests sparked by a failed military 'coup' against Maduro last week, Attorney General Tarek William Saab said on Monday.A small number of military personnel on April 30 joined Guaido outside an air base in the capital Caracas calling on those inside to join the rebellion.
President Maduro called on the armed forces to be "ready" in the event of a US military offensive against the South American country during a speech to troops. "And he [Putin] is not looking at all to get involved in Venezuela other than he would like to see something positive happen for Venezuela, and I feel the same way. We want to get some humanitarian aid – right now people are starving, they have no food, they have no water," Trump said.The commander of US forces in South America briefed top Trump administration officials Friday on the crisis in Venezuela and options for potential military action.
He said at a press conference that Venezuelans should try talking to troops around the country and telling them to "join the movement."Human rights groups said a 15-year-old boy is the latest casualty in Venezuela's ongoing unrest. Lopez said Tuesday's opposition attempt to incite a military uprising against Maduro's government, which seemed to have fizzled out by Wednesday, was "part of a process."
On Tuesday, Guaido – who has been recognised by more than 50 countries as the crisis-wracked country's interim president –urged the armed forces to rise up against the embattled leader. "We've come to ratify our loyalty ... to the supreme commander of the armed forces, who is our only president, President Nicolas Maduro," Defence Minister General Vladimir Padrino said at the event. Venezuela's top court has ordered the arrest of Lopez, an opposition activist who took refuge in the Spanish Embassy after joining an attempt to topple Maduro this week.
"When you have more than half of the ministries controlled by the army, and they control the oil, the diamonds, the coal, the minerals, the gasoline and the justice and economic system, you have to understand that fundamentally the regime is military," Arria said. "So what has to collapse is the regime itself."
He began the event by saying he was sending prayers to the people of Venezuela in their "righteous struggle for freedom."A Venezuelan human rights group said at least four people died in two days of protests after Guaido called for a military uprising. "Pompeo phoned, called for us to refuse to support Maduro, called for Cuba and us not to interfere in the internal affairs of Venezuela. The whole story sounds quite surreal," Lavrov said.
Josep Borrell, who is the foreign minister in Spain's caretaker government, said Lopez is staying as a guest at the Spanish embassy in Caracas.He told Spanish media during an official trip to Jordan that Lopez is staying at the embassy until his next steps become clearer. Guaido, backed by a small contingent of security forces, called for the military to turn against Maduro on Tuesday. But police dispersed the crowds in clashes that raged for hours.The streets of the capital were calm on Thursday.Clashes broke out between opposition supporters and Venezuela's armed forces in the capital Caracas on Wednesday during May Day protests with opposition leader Guaido attempting to rally demonstrators against Maduro.
President Maduro has also called on his supporters to take to the streets, and a large group has already turned out.Russia warns against US 'interference' "President [Trump] has been consistent and unambiguous about that, that the option to use military force is available if that is what is ultimately called for. We hope it's not. We hope there can be a peaceful resolution and that Maduro will leave without violence."Maduro warned Tuesday that those responsible for a military uprising against him would face "criminal prosecutions.""I have spoken to the attorney general. I have chosen three prosecutors...
