Enrique Márquez unveiled the 'Pacto por Venezuela' on Thursday at Caracas's JW Marriott hotel, a five-point framework for rebuilding after Maduro's removal.
Márquez finished ninth in the 2024 presidential election with about 0.25% of the vote, and was imprisoned from January 2025 to January 2026 on coup-plotting accusations.
The Pacto proposes judicial overhaul, international asset repatriation, restoration of civil rights, electoral reforms (including a new CNE, runoff, and bicameral legislature), and protection of private property.
Márquez described the U.S. role as 'tutelaje' (guardianship), citing a TIME investigation that reported Marco Rubio co-manages Venezuela's oil income fund with Delcy Rodríguez.

What would change the assessment
- If the 'Pacto por Venezuela' is formally adopted by the National Assembly or the interim government within 90 days, the article's claim that it is an open document without institutional backing would be invalidated. (within 90 days — AsambleaVE roll-call records, official government gazette)
- If Delcy Rodríguez calls new elections or announces a new succession process within 90 days, the article's assertion that her government is in a 'widening legal gray zone' would be weakened. (within 90 days — Official government announcements, Reuters wires)
