Apparently, the Colombian government is seeking a plan (CIA?) for Nicolás Maduro to hand over power to a transitional government tasked with organizing new elections, which would guarantee him safety from persecution.
Colombian government denies supporting a negotiated exit of Maduro after statements by his foreign minister
This is the "supposed" audio where Colombia's support for a transitional government is mentioned:
Bloomberg publishes the controversial audio of the Colombian foreign minister in which she reveals the Petro government's position on Maduro's negotiated exit
La Cancillería desmintió al medio sobre lo que dijo la canciller frente a la situación en Venezuela.

In the midst of the controversy over a Bloomberg publication in which the Colombian foreign minister, Rosa Yolanda Villavicencio, had talked about the possibility of a “safe exit” of dictator Nicolás Maduro from power, an audio of the interview with the Colombian official was released.
In the piece, published by Bloomberg, the interviewer can be heard asking Villavicencio about the situation in Venezuela and the possibility of Maduro handing over power in the South American country.
"If there were a plan that would guarantee Maduro a transition without him in power, do you think President Maduro should consider it?asked the Bloomberg reporter.
"Yes, I think he has actually considered it, that there may be a way out, a transition where he can leave without having to go through prison and that someone comes who can make that transition,” the chancellor replied.
Villavicencio went on to say that the idea was for there to be a transition in the country through an election.
"That there may be elections that are legitimized with a transparent process, because it would be the healthiest thing, is what we tell ourselves and what is being proposed to him, and I think Maduro would be about to accept,” the foreign minister said.
“Would you be about to accept it?", the journalist asked after the surprising response of the Colombian foreign minister, regarding the possibility of an agreement between the United States and the Maduro regime.
“I think I would accept that approach” the chancellor confirmed, in the middle of the interview.
In the audio it can be seen that the journalist continues to ask what is the reason why the foreign minister would think that Maduro would accept a plan to leave power peacefully, to which she replies that it is something probable.
"Because, well, he has advanced looking for mediations, but another thing is that the United States wants to accept, that in order to mediate the two parties must accept,” Villavicencio said.
During the interview, the official also referred to the mediation of countries such as Brasil, so that the tensions between Trump and Maduro decrease.
Okay, so it's not like many hypocrites usually say in front of the news "Only Venezuelans should solve their problems" when we see that all these meddlers are deciding for the people, behind the people's backs and even deciding for the president himself.
This lady is not talking to her relatives, friends or whatever about a trivial situation, she is talking about decisions that only the head of state of the country she is talking about, should make and inform and no one else. She says that "Maduro has considered it." And she renames the usual theme that Petro maintains, "Making new and transparent elections." The same thing that Petro asked for. In a sense she is not "lying or distorting" she is holding up part of Petro's thinking.
What I'm saying is that the CIA doesn't need to intervene much here. Just push, because the division is already created by Petro's way of thinking. I do not rule out the possibility that this is also a sabotage to antagonize Petro and Maduro, which is not that they require much effort for that, for something Maduro has been very patient with Petro's attitude too, very!.
Everyone who has followed Maduro's actions and words, proves the opposite. I do not rule out that it is the last option, even I consider it the most favorable option to avoid unnecessary mortality. But it's one thing for a citizen of your country to say it, but for it to be said by a representative of the government of another country, obviously it's not the most favorable thing, some will say "ah it's a simple opinion, anyone can say it" well, politically it's not the right thing, because that's called intervention. Expressing decisions for another country in a delicate situation where every word serves as a weapon against the government that is mentioned.
There is nothing out of context here. She talks "about what Maduro thinks", she is not in Maduro's head and Maduro already said:
On Monday, Trump said he would talk to Maduro “at some point”" and the Chavista leader replied hours later: "Anyone who wants to talk to Venezuela will talk
face to face”.
I think she should be dismissed for saying those things that complicate bilateral relations in a conflict situation that affects both sides, but if her president Petro, does not think something very different either, it is normal to present him now as "decontextualized":
Petro government denies supporting a negotiated exit of Maduro
The Government of Colombia denied that it supports a plan for a negotiated exit from power of the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, after an interview of the foreign minister of Colombia, published on Wednesday, in which she spoke of that possibility and was in favor of an eventual plan for a change of government in the neighboring country.
“The information that has circulated in the media in the last few hours about Colombia's alleged support for a plan for a negotiated exit of Nicolás Maduro from power does not correspond to what was expressed by Foreign Minister Villavicencio Mapy in the interview,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The Colombian government “has no interference in the internal affairs of other countries and respects the sovereignty of the brotherly country of Venezuela,” adds the text, which speaks of “decontextualized information” in the media.
The government of Colombia did not recognize the results of the 2024 presidential elections, in which the authorities proclaimed Maduro the winner, but has not called for the departure of the president. President Gustavo Petro maintains his own escalation of tensions with his US counterpart, Donald Trump, and assured that Bogota would not support an invasion of Venezuela.
"(Trump) is angry that I do not support the Americans with the Colombian army to invade Venezuela. No, sir, what stupid Colombian can think of helping to invade where his cousins and nephews are, to have them killed like in Gaza," Petro said in October.
Well... again... what about calling the elections a fraud, asking for a vote count and not recognizing, what it is?
interference!. Once again, the contradiction.
Ecopetrol is the pillar of the Colombian economy (representing ~4-5% of GDP).
Petro asked to leave the "oil and coal” and made a simile with the Chavez regime: "It is the path of social inequality and death”
El mandatario afirmó que, en parte, la crisis social de Venezuela es consecuencia de las decisiones relacionadas con el crudo tomadas durante el primer régimen del país vecino

The president said that,
in part, the social crisis in Venezuela is a consequence of the decisions related to crude oil made during the first regime of the neighboring country.
According to the political analysis medium Foreign Policy, the hydrocarbon industry in Venezuela completely collapsed. They highlight that seven years of mismanagement, political purges, the dismantling of the management structures of Petróleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA) and the abandonment of traditional business policies, all promoted by the Nicolás Maduro regime since 2014, deteriorated the sector and caused great economic instability in the country.
The Colombian president added that the Venezuelan case illustrates how an economy based on non-renewable resources can lead to serious economic and political problems.
"Look at what's happening to Venezuela, that we no longer know if it's democracy, we no longer know if it's revolution and the people don't want them,” he said, in a criticism that mixes environmental, social and governance aspects.
But this is how a majority of people in Venezuela have decided and only they know what they have decided and what they must endure, endure, suffer, accept, etc. because it is "only the Venezuelans' problem", right? So what does it matter to Petro how the revolution is made or not in Venezuela? Petro is more Venezuelan than the Venezuelan.
When it is convenient it is "problems of Venezuelans" and when it is convenient "it is a problem of democracy" according to everyone's interpretation as well.
Gustavo Petro: Chavez and Maduro led Venezuela to depend on oil #24May
This Monday night the presidential candidate of Colombia, Gustavo Petro said that Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro led Venezuela to ”depend on oil", something that, in his opinion, is an economic model that their political rivals intend to carry out.
Petro indicated that one of his government proposals is for Colombia to "depend on agriculture, industry and tourism on the basis of a knowledge society.”
"Those who want to continue maintaining Colombia's dependence on oil are my political rivals, some in the government and others in the campaign. They are more like Chavez and Maduro," he said in a debate with the other candidates.
I understand that he has said this as a strategy to become president but it has been a while and he continues to maintain the same narrative. I repeat, Petro is manipulated
through his sense of justice and he is in time to develop his conscience or he will be the next Jordan Peterson but only this new version if he will support Gaza because with Peterson that part of the programming did not work and it was precisely what set off the alarms to most of them because many did not believe it or see the signs much earlier.
In Venezuela when it talks about the sovereignty, pawns, the "follies" of another country, that's when it starts to be attacked, by that country.
When Uribe, Santos and Duque and all the servants of the United States obtained the presidency of their countries in South America, Chavez in his time and now Maduro, would come out to congratulate them! not to acknowledge, to congratulate them and that's it. Not enter into polemics, not even to call for a recount of the votes again.
Chavez even made it annoying because one did not know what was the nonsense he had with Uribe that one day they insulted each other and the next day they threw flowers at each other, a novel. That level of "diplomacy" was reached with Uribe! so why doesn't Petro let himself be loved? (laughs). I don't understand that with someone with whom things could be better between Colombia and Venezuela now, Petro complicates it... it's amazing.
Maduro also followed those steps "do not attack until you are attacked" and that has always been the case. Milei had already been attacking Venezuela as a candidate. It was obvious that insults came and went from long before.
Although "diplomacy" I think they use it very often as a "euphemism" mostly and not even that anymore, totally indecent. Well, nothing is complete in life (laughs).
If one day Petro is part of your sessions with the Cass and for some reason is included in the topic, great. With too much calmness or acceptance will be, I am carrying all this. If it turns out that Petro is not as "weird" as it seems to me, that day I will question my thoughts about it as I did with Trump and Charlie Kirk, so far for me he is a Trojan horse or that he's willing to be in order to save his own "back".
Meanwhile, Colombia and Brasil are in mode:
For Colombia and Brasil to be at peace, it is necessary to get rid of Maduro.
