A faction of Venezuela’s opposition is set to pick its candidate for next year’s presidential election.
Opposition presidential hopeful Maria Corina Machado, center right, and opposition leader Freddy Superlano, center left, raise their arms for photographers during a campaign event in Caracas, Venezuela, Friday, Oct. 13, 2023. Superlano announced his withdrawal from the primaries and the support of his party, Popular Will, for Machado ahead of opposition primaries to choose one candidate to face President Nicolas Maduro in 2024 general elections.
All the candidates in the primary have promised to topple Maduro. That was once enough to get the support of opponents to the self-described socialist administration. These days, people want a lot more from opposition candidates. Maduro's allies have ridiculed and dismissed the primary all year long. Still, both the government and its foes have used the contest as a bargaining chip to extract concessions from each other as part of a negotiation process meant to end the crisis.
Under Wednesday's agreement, the government and opposition are supposed to “recognize and respect the right of each political actor to select” a presidential candidate freely. They also agreed to “promote the authorization" of all candidates to participate as long as they comply with the law.
