Delcy Rodríguez announces Venezuelan elections and US energy pact at UN

Delcy Rodríguez United Nations General Assembly Venezuela elections US-Venezuela energy agreement political transition

Addressing the 81st United Nations General Assembly, Venezuelan acting President Delcy Rodríguez announced that the country will hold elections under conditions of equality for all political forces. While she emphasized a commitment to a democratic transition and institutional reconstruction, she did not provide a specific date for the upcoming polls.

Rodríguez also highlighted a significant 25-year energy cooperation agreement signed with the United States. The pact aims to reactivate Venezuela's industrial oil sector through the joint development of 17 strategic fields, targeting a production level exceeding 1.5 million barrels per day. At a base price of $65 per barrel, the agreement is estimated to generate approximately $209,335 million in revenue.

The announcement has drawn mixed reactions. The opposition coalition, Plataforma Unitaria Democrática (PUD), demanded that these promises be translated into verifiable actions, including the release of political prisoners, the restoration of political party symbols, and the removal of candidate disqualifications. Meanwhile, regional and municipal authorities in Venezuela expressed support for her diplomatic efforts and the message of peace delivered to the international community.
