Promising elections at the United Nations means nothing while 400 political prisoners sit in cells, an opposition leader was just abducted and the country's top opposition figure is blocked from coming home.

Venezuela is finally on an orderly, verifiable path to competitive elections, with legal reforms and real dialogue with opposition sectors on equal terms. A historic meeting with Trump opened cooperation on energy, mining and security, plus an energy pact projected to bring in billions for hospitals, salaries and social spending. Rebuilding trust in institutions takes more than slogans from the sidelines.
