Colombia Hosts Venezuela Talks, Confidence Data Due

COLOMBIA
  • The meeting on the political process in Venezuela organized by the Petro administration will be held, including the participation of delegates from Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Spain, US and France, among others. After the meeting, Foreign Minister Álvaro Leyva will speak.
  • The arrival of Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó in Bogotá on Monday complicated the Colombian government’s efforts to unblock the political stalemate in its neighbour, according to officials in both countries. Guaidó called for a protest in Bogotá’s main plaza on Tuesday, to demand that Venezuelans overseas be allowed to participate in upcoming elections. Guaidó has since departed to the US, after pointing out that “the persecution of the dictatorship unfortunately spread to Colombia.”
  • Itau have noted that health reform discussions resume in Congress today, as members of the Conservative, Liberal and U Parties claim they will not support the policy until it incorporates certain changes, most importantly maintaining a mixed system, rather than transitioning to only a public one, as the reform suggests. Industrial and retail confidence data is also scheduled to be released.
