Juan Guaidó revealed that “there is no agreement” on any new meeting in Oslo with the Chavista regime

The opposition leader Juan Guaidó said on Friday that a new meeting with the Venezuelan government in Norway is not planned for the moment, and that any attempt at dialogue should point to Nicolás Maduro’s exit from power.

“Today no meeting is planned, nor agreed any meeting that does not approximate the objectives of Venezuela,” said Guaidó in a political act, referring to his demand that Maduro “cease the usurpation” to establish a transitional government to call elections.

The parliamentary leader, recognized as interim president by fifty countries headed by the United States, later told reporters that he will report “timely” on possible talks in Oslo, with the Contact Group of European and Latin American countries or with the Lima Group.

“If that is the case (a new appointment in Norway) what are we going for ?: cessation of usurpation and free elections (…), but today it is not proposed because if they do not approach that, it does not work,” he stressed.

Delegates from Maduro and Guaidó have held two rounds of exploratory dialogues with the mediation of the Norwegian government since mid-May: initially separately with officials from the European country and then face to face between 27 and 29 of that month.

Guaidó said that his envoys have come to Oslo knowing that Maduro, whom he calls “dictator” and accuses of leading the country to a “humanitarian catastrophe,” does not act in “good faith.”

“When we go to each of those spaces, rejoice, because it is not that we were seated, we sit where we want, responsibly, (they) had to sit down,” said the opponent, who predicts that Maduro will come out of power this year.

Guaidó was sworn in as interim president on January 23, after the legislature – the only power in the hands of the opposition – declared illegitimate the second term of Maduro, alleging that his reelection was fraudulent.

His decision to accept Norwegian mediation is criticized by an opposition sector, after several failed negotiations in recent years.

During the act of this Friday in Valencia (north), qualified the differences in the opposition, which according to The Washington Post newspaper were criticized by the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, last week in a private meeting.

“In reference to what Secretary of State Pompeo said (…), yes, here there have been differences, yes, of course we have had them, do we have them today ?, gradually because we are all united in a single cause,” he said.

Guaidó also called on Russia and China – together with Cuba’s main diplomatic supporters of Maduro – to understand that his proposal is “much more constructive” than that of the Chavista leader, who he said is not in a position to honor his debts to those countries.

“Welcome to build the alternative we are developing”, launched the opponent, who after more than four months of being sworn in has failed to break the support of the military to the government.
