Francisco Rodríguez: Si Trump no va a invadir, le toca lograr que Maduro y MCM se pongan de acuerdo
Publicado por Anaisa Rodríguez | Nov 19, 2025 | 4:28 pm | Política
En Venezuela existe un problema de coexistencia entre dos grupos que han estado luchando por el control, por ello si el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, no está dispuesto a invadir el país, debe lograr que Nicolás Maduro y María Corina Machado lleguen a un acuerdo, expresó el economista y profesor de la Universidad de Denver.
Así lo declaró durante su participación en el programa Vladimir a la Carta, conducido por el periodista Vladimir Villegas.
Al hacer un análisis de la situación actual entre Estados Unidos y Venezuela, Rodríguez comentó que este acuerdo debe centrarse en la realización de unas elecciones presidenciales con garantías.
“Esas garantías deben ser que quien pierda las elecciones no se debe montar en un avión para mandarlo para Guantánamo”, expuso.
A juicio del economista, “si se quiere construir una democracia, debemos entender que no es soplar y hacer botellas. Las democracias son acuerdos de coexistencia y las partes deciden resolver de manera pacífica”.
No obstante, dejó claro que antes de ir a unas nuevas elecciones, es fundamental hacer reformas institucionales, principalmente en el Tribunal Supremo de Justicia y el Consejo Nacional Electoral.
Mala estrategia opositora
Rodríguez manifestó que el maximalismo es una mala estrategia para la oposición venezolana, porque pone al chavismo frente a la disyuntiva al pensar que los quieren sacar del gobierno para meterlos presos.
“Si toda la lucha es sacarlos para meterlos presos, ellos van a agarrar un fusil y tienen todas las de ganar otra vez, a menos que Estados Unidos decida invadir, y eso no va a pasar”, agregó.

FWIW.. i do not think Maduro can accept this... whatever immunity is offered to him can be cancelled later on while on transit.
I think he has nowhere to go. May be Cuba. |

(Bloomberg) -- Colombia said it would favor a path for
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to hand over power to a
transition government tasked with organizing new elections —
preferring the idea over the alternative of a more forceful US
intervention in its neighbor’s affairs.
The transition proposal has been making the rounds in
diplomatic circles in Washington, Caracas and beyond as a
potential solution to the US standoff with Venezuela, while
President Donald Trump amasses warships in the Caribbean.
There’s no sign that Trump would be open to such an arrangement.
But Maduro might consent to the idea if guaranteed that he
would be safe from persecution, Colombia’s Foreign Affairs
Minister Rosa Villavicencio said Wednesday in an interview in
Madrid.
“Maduro would be inclined to accept it,” Villavicencio
said. “He could leave without necessarily ending up in prison,
someone else could come in to lead that transition and allow for
elections that are legitimate.”
Maduro hasn’t said anything in public that indicates he
would be consider the proposal. Villavicencio said her boss,
Colombian President Gustavo Petro, hasn’t talked to Maduro
directly, but that her team is in contact with Venezuela’s
diplomats.
Venezuela’s Information Ministry didn’t immediately reply
to a request for comments. The US State Department also didn’t
immediately reply.
Dollar bonds from Venezuela and its state-oil company rose
across the curve. Notes due in 2034 jumped 2 cents to 33 cents
on the dollar, the highest in six years, according to indicative
pricing data collected by Bloomberg.
Petro and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
have called for new Venezuelan elections after the 2024 vote was
widely condemned as fraudulent. A safe exit plan for Maduro
could now be “the healthiest option” but would require backing
from the Venezuelan opposition, Villavicencio said.
Officials in Colombia, a longtime US ally that shares a
border with Venezuela, have until now spoken only broadly of
avoiding conflict without offering specific solutions.
Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump threatened to
target suspected drug cartel targets on land in Venezuela,
Colombia and Mexico. Since September, US forces has been blowing
up drug-running boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, killing more
than 80 people.
Colombia has warned that a US attack on Venezuela could
trigger another exodus of migrants. About 8 million Venezuelans
have fled their country over the last decade, and nearly three
million of them live in Colombia, according to the UN High
Commissioner for Refugees.
“An intervention could trigger a humanitarian crisis that
would be very difficult to manage,” Villavicencio said.
Since August, the US has deployed warships and aircraft to
the southern Caribbean, stoking fears of an attack on Venezuelan
soil.
Bogota was until recently a strong ally of Washington, but
relations have soured badly since the start of Trump’s second
term. The US leader has called Petro a “lunatic” and an “illegal
drug leader,” slashed aid and revoked his visa. Villavicencio
said she would renounce her visa in solidarity with Petro.
The tension between Colombia and the US may make Petro’s
government a poor interlocutor on Venezuela’s behalf, Sergio
Guzman, director of Colombia Risk Analysis, said in a phone
interview.
“The government’s support for a plan for Maduro’s
negotiated exit is proof of the failure of all its foreign
policy tools,” Guzman said. “Colombia lacks credibility both
domestically and internationally to be a guarantor country for
any transition process in Venezuela.” |

Savo: I owe you a dinner if PDVsa goes to par with the Sov.
The old promise, if my memory is correct, related to the bonds going to 60 (or another high figure I do not honestly remember).
Anyway, if you come to visit your son, I will invite you for dinner anyway.
If you get to the Caribbean, I can host you in my modest abode too.. |

Vic - from a fundamental perspective I wouldn't buy at any price really.
In hindsight it is a perfect momentum vehicle.
I like momentum, but my investments must also have fundamental characteristics. But that is just me, perhaps. |

| KNOP units are now trading over the parent co's buyout proposal. Likely that rumors about a "sweetener" are spreading. Parent did not have the numbers to compel a deal and plenty were ready to vote "no" ... me included. |
