Maduro has said the initiative aims to promote national dialogue and civic participation in a bid to overcome the political crisis that has brought government to a virtual standstill. The opposition-controlled congress refused to cooperate with the PSUV-led executive. Former foreign minister Delcy Rodriguez, who quit her post to run as a candidate, said she was certain the initiative could serve to break the political deadlock.

However, not everyone is so sure. Luisa Ortega, Venezuela's attorney general, unsuccessfully called on the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) to annul the process.
