Early elections in Germany will be held on 23 February 2025, according to an agreement reached between parliamentarians from the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the main opposition party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU).

The lower house representatives reached this decision even with the support of the Liberals of the FDP recently expelled from the coalition and the Greens, who together with the Social Democrats form a minority government.

The announcement was made on Tuesday, November 12, after the meetings in the Bundestag, although the date has yet to be confirmed by the president of the nation, Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

The official must dissolve Parliament after the current chancellor, Olaf Scholz, “submits to a vote of confidence foreseeably on December 16, which he will lose due to being in the minority,” according to some local media.

Scholz wanted to submit to the vote of confidence on January 15, and had proposed that the elections be held at the end of March 2025, although he gave in to the advance of the date.

“Once the date of the vote of confidence is called, the deputies will in principle have 48 hours to vote. Steinmeier will then have a maximum of 21 days to dissolve parliament, a step which, once done, will trigger a 60-day period for holding elections.”

The parliamentarians voted in favor of the elections on 23 February after the coalition between the Social Democrats, Greens and Liberals broke up.

Venezuelans vote today, Sunday, July 28, to elect a new president. The provisions of the National Electoral Council for the installation of the centers arranged for this event have been complied with, under vigilance of the Plan República.

There are around 21.4 million voters authorized to vote this June 28, including 69,000 citizens abroad, of the 8 million Venezuelans who left the country for other lands.

The voting centers have been open since the early hours of this Sunday to allow citizens to vote. It is important to remember some recommendations on clothing that encourage you to wear comfortable and fresh clothes, clothes without necklines or holes, do not wear caps or shorts, and do not wear badges alluding to political parties.

Regarding the regulations for electronic equipment, cameras and cell phones, weapons or similar, it is pertinent to remember that their use in the voting process is prohibited.

Voters are urged to bring a supply of drinking water and some snacks, a folding chair, and an umbrella.

The only document necessary to exercise the right to vote is the laminated identity card, current or expired. Once they are verified on the lists arranged within the assigned voting center, in addition to lining up, the next thing is to go to the corresponding table, hand over the ID card, wait for their information to appear on the screen and then mark the fingerprint and proceed to vote.

Pregnant women, elderly people or people with disabilities normally have preferential access.

This Monday, the Norwegian government confirmed that the ruling party and the Venezuelan opposition decided to resume political dialogue and negotiation this Tuesday, October 17.

Both representations resumed negotiations in August 2021, but they were suspended in November 2022. Norway has confirmed the willingness of both parties to find solutions that adhere to the constitutional order, and free presidential elections are achieved in 2024.

It is important to remember that Venezuela is currently facing pressure from the United States, due to the sanctions imposed by that nation, regarding the government of Nicolás Maduro establishing the conditions guaranteeing free elections.

Another important fact is that the decision between the opposition and the ruling party to resume talks occurs a few days before the opposition primary elections, scheduled for next Sunday, the 22nd.

The Norwegian government made public the statement from the Maduro government, which indicates the decision of both parties to “resume the process of dialogue and negotiation” facilitated by Norway, “with the objective of reaching a political agreement.”

The registration of Venezuelans abroad to participate in the primary elections to choose the opposition candidate in Venezuela, scheduled for next October, was activated at the beginning of this month.

According to information this weekend from the National Primary Commission (CNdP) in a statement, in the application activated for registration there are already some 24,800 people who have registered to exercise their right to vote in the primaries, and begin the campaign for the 2024 presidential elections.

It is important to point out that Venezuelans residing abroad, and registered in the Electoral Registry, had already updated their residence address to exercise their right in the more than 81 cities of 32 countries listed by the Venezuelan opposition.

Recently, due to the resignation of the rectors of the National Electoral Council (CNE), which generated uncertainty among voters regarding the accompaniment of the entity in the October primaries, the opposition declared that the elections will be manual.

The International Contact Group will hold a virtual meeting of foreign ministers on March 21, with a view to continuing to make progress to achieve “a peaceful and democratic solution” to the crisis that Venezuela has been going through for years and to facilitate the sending of aid.

The group, which emerged as an initiative to propose common approaches, brings together Spain, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Panama, Portugal, Sweden and Uruguay, as well as the European Union.

Representatives of all these countries have held an online meeting to examine the situation today and discuss, among other issues, the negotiation process open in Mexico between the government of Nicolás Maduro and the main opposition parties.

This dialogue remains stalled after some initial attempts at rapprochement, in a context in which the opposition is now seeking to reconfigure itself to agree on a common candidate in future electoral processes, through primaries that will take place in October of this year.

The group “has reiterated its objective of contributing to a peaceful and democratic solution to the crisis in Venezuela,” according to the EU’s External Action Service, which in a note has confirmed a new virtual meeting, although already between ministers, for inside one month.

The Venezuelan opposition has announced the primary elections for next October 22 in which it aspires to elect a single candidate with whom to run in the future presidential elections, in an attempt to gain strength against the ruling party.

The National Primary Commission will be in charge of organizing this appointment. Its president, Jesús María Casal, has explained in a public act that the body will work for the sake of the reliability of the entire process, supported by opposition leaders such as Juan Guaidó or Henrique Capriles.

Casal aspires to obtain “reinforced legitimacy” based on “the common illusion of political change,” according to statements released by the commission itself. Among the issues that still need to be clarified is whether there will be any kind of collaboration with institutions such as the National Electoral Council, controlled by the government of Nicolás Maduro.

Guaidó has celebrated on Twitter the announcement of the date “to reunify the country and for hope to be reborn in Venezuela.” For his part, Capriles has also given his “support” to the Commission’s announcement on social networks, in which he sees “an important step for the construction of a solid political alternative that reaches to represent the interests of the majority of Venezuelans. “We believe that the change that our people long for is possible in 2024,” he said.

The main opposition groups in Venezuela refused to participate in the last elections due to the lack of democratic guarantees, but they have set themselves the goal of recovering the lost momentum with a view to future processes, still to be specified in the calendar.

Representatives of the government of Nicolás Maduro and the Unitary Platform of Venezuela resumed this Saturday the dialogue and negotiation process at the Hotel Sufitel in Mexico City, facilitated by Norway, where the parties signed the Second Partial Agreement for the Protection of the Venezuelan People.

The head of the Venezuelan government delegation, Jorge Rodríguez, highlighted at the signing that “today we have signed a historic agreement due to the importance of its political significance, for the good living of the Venezuelan people.”

In this sense, Rodríguez thanked Norway for its “efficient and discreet facilitation in these dialogue sessions”. At the same time, he thanked the Mexican people, and Mexico City, which “has welcomed us with great solidarity and kindness.”

For its part, the delegation of the Unitarian Platform expressed that the agreement seeks to address the “humanitarian crisis” that Venezuelans are going through. They also agreed to request the establishment of a “fund administered by the United Nations, under a programmatic framework of projects and works recommended by recognized experts, which guarantees transparency in the execution of these funds.”

In addition, the opposition Platform stressed that “negotiation is not the solution, but it is a tool that allows signing agreements for the benefit of Venezuelans”.

The main negotiators of the government of Nicolás Maduro and the Venezuelan opposition have shaken hands this Friday in Paris, in a Forum for Peace promoted by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and which has brought both parties together after months of distance.

The ambassador in Caracas, Romain Nadal, and the deputy Eleonore Caroit, who represents French expatriates in Latin America, have shared images of this first contact on their respective social networks, prior to an intense day of meetings in which Venezuela will have a special role.

On the part of the government, the delegation is headed by Jorge Rodríguez, from the National Assembly, while Gerardo Blyde is at the head of the opposition’s Unitary Platform. “France can play a key role in the negotiation process,” Caroit said on his Twitter account.

What is sought, they maintain from the Elysee, is “to create a dynamic for the resumption” of the dialogue process in Mexico, suspended since October 2021 and sponsored by the host country and Norway. This process obtained very limited results, focused mainly on the humanitarian situation in the country.

It is in this context, they say from the French Presidency, that we must see the greeting that took place on Monday during the COP27 in Egypt between Macron and Maduro, in which the French president summoned him to speak later, and the Venezuelan maintained that France “has to play a decisive role.”

With 90.21 % of the votes counted, the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) wins in 20 of the 23 states of the country, in addition to Caracas, in the regional elections held this Sunday, November 21st.

The ruling party obtains the victory in most of the states, with the exception of Nueva Esparta, Zulia and Cojedes, although the difference is still narrow in Táchira and Barinas, according to the data read by the president of the National Electoral Council (CNE), Pedro Calzadilla.

For now, the result is unknown in the cities (mayoralties) of Venezuela with the exception of Caracas, which has a special status, where former Interior Minister Carmen Meléndez (PSUV) won, with 58.93 % of the votes counted, ahead of the opposition Antonio Ecarri (Alianza Lapiz), who obtained 15.54 % of the votes.

If these results are confirmed, the Venezuelan ruling party improves those obtained in 2017, when it won in 18 states and Caracas.

The largest and most emblematic electoral triumph of the opposition was in Zulia, the most populated state in the country, where the veteran political leader Manuel Rosales won with the MUD card.

In these elections, 41.80% of voters voted, representing 8,151,793 citizens, abstention being markedly significant.

The Government of Venezuela and the Unitary Platform will begin on October 15 the fourth round of the dialogue that they carry out in Mexico City, according to the delegation of the Venezuelan Executive.

Deputy Génesis Garveth, a member of the government team in the negotiations, confirmed to the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, the date on which the dialogue that began in August under the mediation of Norway and with the support of Mexico will resume.

The opposition bloc and the Maduro Executive closed their third round of negotiations on September 27 with an agreement to implement consultation mechanisms with national and international political actors, and with approaches on “social, economic and political” issues.

In the previous rounds, the parties reached partial agreements to seek mechanisms for access to international funds for humanitarian aid or to reaffirm the sovereignty of Venezuela, all in accordance with the norms that they established in the ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ that they signed at the beginning of the dialogue in Mexico City.

Among the main points of the meetings are the institutional framework, the reform of the judicial system, the mechanisms to help the national economy or social issues to solve the crisis in the country.

This new Venezuelan dialogue has the mediation of Norway and the support of Mexico as a neutral territory for the negotiations. On everyone’s mind are the regional and local elections on November 21, in which for the first time in three years the Unitary Platform has offered to participate, which once again recovers the common flag of the Democratic Unity Table (MUD).
