Venezuela's interim government did not mention Maduro's release during five rounds of negotiations with the opposition in July.
Delcy Rodríguez, who initially condemned Maduro's capture as 'vile aggression,' has since replaced military leaders with allies and rarely mentions Maduro publicly.
The negotiations focused on financing recovery after earthquakes and repatriating $4 billion in gold from the Bank of England, but produced few concrete results.
The regime claims to have released 131 political prisoners, but Foro Penal confirmed only 78 releases.

What would change the assessment
- If Maduro is released from U.S. custody within the next 90 days, the article's claim that the regime has abandoned him would be contradicted. (within 90 days — U.S. Department of Justice press releases, court records)
- If the Venezuelan government publicly demands Maduro's release in official statements or negotiations within the next 90 days, the article's claim would be weakened. (within 90 days — Official government statements, news wires)
