CARACAS, Venezuela – Reports have emerged of a sudden shift in the stance of Delcy Rodríguez, a Venezuelan political leader known for her hardline positions against Washington.

She also seeks to create a climate conducive to future negotiations that could include major regional and international powers.
This development comes at a time when the country is experiencing a severe political crisis. There are fears of escalating violence and widespread instability. Therefore, any call for dialogue from a figure like Rodríguez is considered an unprecedented signal of a shift in the strategies of major Venezuelan powers.
