Rafael Simón Jiménez calls for an election timetable and says María Corina Machado faces a pile-on

On Vladimir Villegas's show, Rafael Simón Jiménez said there is "an incredible pile-on against María Corina Machado" and demanded a timetable that gives certainty about the transition. He proposed a mega-election or, failing that, an order of elections agreed at the negotiating table with the United States.

«The issue is the prolonging of a situation without us Venezuelans having certainty about that transition.»— Rafael Simón Jiménez, August 26, 2026 · watch
