CARACAS — Venezuela's crowded transition landscape gained a new entrant this week. Enrique Márquez, a former vice-rector of the National Electoral Council (CNE) and a minor candidate in the 2024 presidential election, unveiled the "Pacto por Venezuela" on Thursday at Caracas's JW Marriott hotel — a five-point framework he says should guide the country's rebuilding after Nicolás Maduro's removal. The plan lands seven months into a standoff that has already produced a constitutionally overdue interim government and left the opposition's most popular figure watching from abroad.
