The deputy of the National Assembly elected in December 2020 and general secretary of the Progressive Advance party, Luis Augusto Romero, asserted that the entire Venezuelan opposition must protect and preserve any space for dialogue that opens up in order to find a way out of the crisis. through which the country passes.
Romero highlighted in an interview for Globovisión that this must be preserved in order to respond to an agenda of needs that citizens have such as the issue of salary, dollarized inflation, among other things that “it is up to the political class to assume.”
He warned that there is a “significant and dangerous gap” between the population and politicians due to the disconnection of both groups and that is why the Progressive Advance has carried out a cycle of “consultations, dialogues and debates” with various sectors. of the country and held meetings with several national personalities to specify and locate the proposals that the citizen needs to hear.
