The Venezuelan capital, Caracas, once again witnessed protests in support of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Celia Flores. This occurred two months after their arrest in the United States. A large number of supporters of the 'Chavista movement' and the previous government gathered in the capital's streets, raising Venezuelan flags and images of Maduro and his wife, demanding their 'immediate release'. These protests come at a critical time when the Venezuelan crisis is undergoing significant political and legal developments. The president and his wife remain detained in the United States awaiting the criminal case related to drug trafficking charges. Maduro's lawyer recently requested the dismissal of the case due to legal disputes over funding his defense, a move that could affect the trial's proceedings. Since Maduro's arrest, former Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has been serving as interim President of Venezuela, attempting to maintain stability and manage domestic affairs while facing pressure from Washington to implement economic and political reforms.
