Venezuela is undergoing a profound political shift. One month after the US intervention and the fall of Nicolás Maduro's regime, the country is being run by Delcy Rodríguez. The new government is forced to operate under strict US pressure, abandoning former rhetoric in favor of pragmatism and survival diplomacy.
Symbols of the old guard are losing influence. Former President Maduro is imprisoned in New York, while his key allies, such as Alex Saab and Raúl Gorrín, have been detained by security forces. According to international sources, they are being held by the Venezuelan intelligence agency (SEBIN) pending possible extradition to the United States.
The authorities are attempting to stabilize the domestic situation. During its first month in office, the Rodríguez administration released over 360 political prisoners and announced the preparation of an amnesty law. Plans also include closing the notorious "El Helicoide" detention center and opening the oil industry to foreign capital. The goal of these measures is to maintain control and integrate into the new geopolitical reality.
