Retirees ask Dinorah Figuera for a place at the dialogue table; Cabello calls chavismo 'world champions of dialogue'

A committee of retirees and pensioners asked opposition leader Dinorah Figuera to include their demands in the political dialogue, EFE and Runrun.es reported. According to David Placeres, after years of failed attempts to meet the government, it was the first time they were received; he said they survive on less than a dollar a month.

At the PSUV press conference, Diosdado Cabello defended chavismo's record of dialogue, recalling the OAS-led talks after the coup against Hugo Chávez. He also said the president handed over 87 homes in Ciudad Tiuna to people affected by the double earthquake.
