Maduro declared the crisis over and envisioned a horizon of good luck. However, some analysts consider the forecast hasty, among other reasons. United States sanctions The internal conflict between the government and the opposition in Mexico should be left unaffected by the rhythm of the negotiations to steer into the next elections.
