The OEA Assembly in Cancún concluded without a resolution on Venezuela, as critics of Nicolás Maduro's government failed to reach a consensus, leading to protests. Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray, who led the Assembly, denied it was a failure, emphasizing a message from 20 countries urging Venezuela to reconsider its path. Caribbean countries receiving Venezuelan oil changed their stance last minute, preventing the necessary votes for a contact group to mediate negotiations. Denial is seen as a major obstacle to solutions. Protests in Venezuela, sparked by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal's actions and Maduro's call for a Constituent Assembly, have resulted in 74 deaths over two and a half months.
