Brief
Cardinals Porras and Padrón, together with Monsignor Pérez Morales, called for broader participation in Venezuela’s dialogue process, arguing that greater inclusion is essential to its success. Acting in a personal capacity, the three religious leaders offered to assist and monitor the dialogue table’s work. They described their proposed involvement as a loyal and impartial civic and spiritual service to Venezuelans, without specifying whether the table had accepted the offer.
Broader participation and impartial monitoring could strengthen confidence in a dialogue process whose credibility influences Venezuela’s political-risk premium. Its relevance for recovery will depend on whether the table adopts meaningful inclusion and oversight rather than leaving the clerics’ proposal as an informal appeal.
