Video - Conflict and Compromise in Venezuela: The Two Sides Speak

In Caracas, International Crisis Group asked government officials, opposition activists and political analysts alike to speak to camera about their views of how to resolve Venezuela's catastrophic political and humanitarian crisis. We asked each interviewee the same questions, to exclude political bias and to discover whether there are areas of potential agreement between them.

The interviews confirm that the gap between government and opposition remains very wide, but reveals that there are areas of common ground. Many people from both sides believe that the only peaceful way out of the crisis is through negotiations, and, just as importantly, both sides are willing to make concessions to that end.
