By the opposition was attended the secretary general of the self-styled Democratic Unity Board (MUD), Jesus “Chuo” Torrealba.
“We thank the former Presidents Leonel Fernandez, Martin Torrijos, José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, and Ernesto Samper, from Unasur, for the accompaniment in this dialogue process that now comes true, but that was preceded by a number of proposals, and exploratory meetings , which have come to this day of today, “said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez thanked to the “special envoy of Pope Francis to commit support in the process of dialogue with opposition sectors with the Bolivarian Government”.
