The Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has endorsed negotiations aimed at establishing a democratic transition and free elections, supported by former President Edmundo González Urrutia. The talks, initiated by the United States after the capture of Nicolás Maduro, aim to create new institutions such as the National Election Council (CNE) and Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) outside the control of 'Chavismo 3.0'.
