Large segments of political parties opposed to Maduro, and even many members of the Chavista movement, are eager for ongoing domestic negotiations to gain traction so they can start this process. Even more Venezuelans want all sides, including Maduro and Guaidà ³, to restart negotiations facilitated by the Government of Norway. That's not going to happen until the United States stops the saber-rattling about Venezuela, Iran, Russia and Cuba, and lets Venezuelans themselves find their way forward. Huffing and puffing hasn't blown Maduro's house down, and -- despite the immense economic and pandemic challenges it faces -- do not seem likely to in the near future.
