VALENCIA, Venezuela — Josselyz Essa and a friend, two 9-year-olds with a budding interest in politics as Venezuela starts toward its next presidential election, bubbled with eagerness waiting for the campaign rally to start. Then a thunderous noise spread over the crowd in the streets of the northern city of Valencia.
All the candidates in the primary have promised to topple Maduro. That was once enough to get the support of opponents to the self-described socialist administration. These days, people want a lot more from opposition candidates. Maduro's allies have ridiculed and dismissed the primary all year long. Still, both the government and its foes have used the contest as a bargaining chip to extract concessions from each other as part of a negotiation process meant to end the crisis.
Under Wednesday's agreement, the government and opposition are supposed to “recognize and respect the right of each political actor to select” a presidential candidate freely. They also agreed to “promote the authorization" of all candidates to participate as long as they comply with the law.
