• The beginning of negotiations over the future of Venezuela represents an opportunity that was not present a few months ago.
• The capture of Nicolás Maduro and his replacement by Delcy Rodríguez has changed the political landscape of Venezuela.
• Currently, Washington is promoting talks between the government and the opposition.
• One of the main weaknesses in this scenario is the exclusion of María Corina Machado.
• The maintenance of the political, judicial, and punitive apparatus of chavismo, even with new leaders, represents a risk.

Conclusion: For a successful transition to a full democracy, it is necessary to incorporate those who have been elected by the people to lead and not just preserve the appearance of democracy.
