Former justice Blanca Rosa Mármol rejects the dialogue Dinorah Figuera proposes with Jorge Rodríguez

Former justice Blanca Rosa Mármol questioned on VPItv Dinorah Figuera's call to settle differences with the government, according to El Nacional. Figuera had said Jorge Rodríguez showed willingness to talk but that it is up to him to prove his sincerity, the paper reported.

Commentator David Placeres argued that the State Department's plan put Figuera, not María Corina Machado, in charge of choosing the new electoral council (CNE) and judicial bodies, though he called Machado "the big favorite" for the elections.
