Nicolas Maduro: Can Vatican-backed dialogue help bring peace to Venezuela? | In English | EL PAÍS

However, with Venezuela embroiled in a severe political crisis, it remains to be seen what the Vatican will be able to achieve.
The pressure is mounting on Maduro after the National Electoral Council (CNE) decided to indefinitely suspend the recall referendum against Maduro that the opposition has been organizing.
The talks will take place on Margarita Island on October 30 under the auspices of the Vatican and the Union of South American Nations, said the Apostolic Nuncio to Argentina, announcing the negotiations.
The announcement by the Pope’s representative came in the wake of news of a surprise visit to Pope Francis by Maduro who visited the Vatican after a whistle-stop tour of the Middle East’s oil capitals.
“The dialogue has begun” said Emil Paul Tscherrig, the Vatican representative dispatched by Pope Francis to try to bring the two camps closer together, after meeting with Venezuela’s opposition coalition, the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD).
