The world superior of the Jesuits, Venezuelan priest Arturo Sosa Abascal, has estimated that a negotiation for the exit of the crisis in Venezuela should allow the head of the regime, Nicolás Maduro, and his collaborators "Feel that you can take a step without losing your life".

"I think we need to be open to a negotiation that allows Maduro and the collaborating group to feel that they can take a step without risking their lives, without losing their lives," says Sosa Abascal to Clarin after attending the summit against abuse at the Vatican.

The Jesuit leader expressed confidence that "the end of politics leads to negotiations" in his country, but said that he did not know whether the Vatican was participating in reserved negotiations, as supposed.
