Negotiations in Caracas are advancing under US auspices, with agreements on a new Supreme Court, media freedom, and recovery of frozen assets.
The US has designated Primero Justicia and Voluntad Popular as the opposition's interlocutors, bypassing María Corina Machado's leadership.
María Corina Machado has distanced herself from the talks, criticizing the move as undermining the unity agreements from Panama.
Internal opposition tensions are high, with most Unitary Platform parties criticizing the decision, but PJ and VP leadership remain committed.

What would change the assessment
- If the Venezuelan government announces a new Supreme Court appointment within 90 days, the article's claim of progress on judicial reform is supported. (within 90 days — Official announcements from the Venezuelan National Assembly or government press releases)
- If María Corina Machado publicly endorses the negotiations within 90 days, the article's claim of her categorical distance would be invalidated. (within 90 days — María Corina Machado's official social media or public statements)
