Maduro was not mentioned during nearly two weeks of negotiations between the Venezuelan government and opposition.

Delcy Rodríguez initially demanded Maduro's release but later dropped the issue, focusing on survival.

The talks produced few concrete results, with focus on financing recovery from earthquakes and repatriating $4 billion in gold from the Bank of England.

The government claims to have released 131 political prisoners, but Foro Penal verified only 78 releases.
