Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodriguez urged political factions across the spectrum to engage in a nationally driven dialogue during a high-profile address on Friday, January 23, 2026. Speaking at the Miraflores Palace in Caracas, Rodriguez emphasized the need for unity and concrete solutions to address the country's political challenges.
Rodriguez directed Jorge Rodriguez, head of parliament and president of the Council for Sovereignty and Peace, to organize the meeting. The initiative aims to include both government-aligned and opposition groups, underscoring a commitment to inclusivity while firmly rejecting external interference in Venezuela's internal affairs.
The call for dialogue follows Rodriguez's presentation of the 2026 fiscal budget last December, which highlighted economic stabilization as a priority. Observers note this move signals a potential shift toward domestic consensus-building amid ongoing regional tensions.
