Quake crisis tests Venezuela's fragile leadership under Delcy Rodríguez

Twin earthquakes in Venezuela on June 24 caused heavy casualties and left tens of thousands missing, marking interim President Delcy Rodríguez’s first major crisis. Critics say the government’s response has been slow and uneven as international rescue teams arrive and civilians scramble to help, highlighting long-standing weaknesses in emergency services shaped by years of economic crisis and sanctions. The disaster could reshape public opinion and politics, complicating any view of Rodríguez’s leadership while aid money and rebuilding efforts become the focus of both domestic frustration and international assistance.

Machado Plans Madrid Rally as Venezuela’s Opposition Is Frozen Out After Maduro Capture

Venezuela opposition leader María Corina Machado plans a rally in Madrid to press for democracy after Nicolás Maduro’s capture intensified a split in the country’s leadership. Washington has backed Maduro’s vice president Delcy Rodríguez, enabling her to consolidate power while Machado remains in exile and unable to return. Rodríguez’s position has strengthened amid purges and economic claims of technocratic governance, complicating any democratic transition. Machado has met European leaders but won’t meet Spain’s prime minister during a trip that includes Madrid, highlighting the uncertain path for opposition hopes of elections and a return of exiled figures.

Maduro’s Last Stand Ends with a U.S. Raid on Caracas

After misreading Washington’s resolve, Maduro faced a Jan. 3 U.S.-led raid in Caracas that overpowered his guards, captured him and his wife, and killed more than 100 Cubans and Venezuelans; the attack toppled his grip on power, propelled Delcy Rodríguez to interim presidency, and signaled a new, unpredictable era of gunship diplomacy in Latin America, while Maduro was later arraigned in New York on drug charges.

Rubio frames Venezuela cooperation as in Caracas’ best interest amid Maduro arrest

Sen. Marco Rubio told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that cooperation with the United States aligns with Venezuela’s interests and that Maduro’s arrest was not a war, with Washington signalling it does not plan military action. The administration envisions a transition to a “friendly, stable and prosperous” Venezuela, with oil revenues overseen by the US and used for the Venezuelan people, while trying to limit Iranian and Cuban influence. Democrats pressed on transparency over oil bidding, progress in six months, and congressional oversight of future powers. A protest interruption occurred during Rubio’s opening remarks.

Venezuela's acting president rejects US orders as Maduro-era tensions persist

Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro’s acting president, told oil workers in Puerto La Cruz that she has had enough of Washington’s orders as she works to unite a country divided by Maduro loyalists, opposition, and anti‑Maduro factions after the US captured Maduro. Washington has pressed Caracas on oil production and demanded severing ties with China, Iran, Russia and Cuba while prioritizing US oil interests; Rodríguez has sought to balance domestic loyalties with not provoking Washington, reiterating that the US does not govern Venezuela, amid oil’s central role in the economy and ongoing internal tensions.
