In January, the surprising emergence of Juan Guaidó as the opposition’s leader was followed by months of frenetic activity on the Venezuela crisis. Today there seems to be a pause in the high drama. It is in this context that former Chilean president, Michelle Bachelet, now the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, is making a three-day visit to Venezuela. Although it is hard to predict the final result of the visit, there is little doubt that both sides of this tragic and protracted stalemate will seek to take maximum political advantage.
Michael Shifter habló con Gustau Alegret de NTN24 para analizar el impacto potencial de la visita de la Alta Comisionada de las Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos Michelle Bachelet a Venezuela.
