· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Venezuelan interim leader Delcy Rodríguez stated during her speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday that elections will be held in her country under equal conditions for all. She emphasized the political dialogue initiated with a sector of the opposition to move forward in this direction. Rodríguez did not specify a date for the elections but insisted that guarantees will be provided for all political forces. She highlighted that elections should be a solution, not a source of irreconcilable conflicts. During her 18-minute address, she noted that Venezuela has begun a 'democratic institutional transformation process' to build a freer and more reconciled country. Rodríguez also expressed gratitude to U.S. President Donald Trump for his willingness to resume diplomatic relations and cooperation with Venezuela. She asserted that both countries are working seriously to resolve existing differences through dialogue, focusing on energy relations, security promotion, the fight against transnational crime, and economic cooperation. Rodríguez defended Venezuela's historic rights over the disputed Esequibo region with Guyana and called for negotiations to resolve the long-standing controversy. She reiterated that the only way to resolve the Esequibo dispute is through the 1966 Geneva Agreement. Supporters of the government and authorities in Venezuela marched to back Rodríguez's participation in the UN Assembly, with officials declaring that she represents the voice of all Venezuelans and Latin Americans.
