Venezuela Swears In New Interim President After Shock Arrest Of Maduro.
According to Nivo News, Venezuela’s National Assembly has sworn in Delcy Rodriguez as interim president following the dramatic arrest of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, by United States special forces in a surprise military operation that has sparked widespread outrage and international condemnation.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Rodriguez, who previously served as vice president under Maduro, was inaugurated during an emergency parliamentary session held in Caracas. In her address, she vowed to lead the country through the unfolding political crisis while safeguarding Venezuela’s sovereignty and national dignity.
Taking the oath of office, Rodriguez pledged her allegiance to the Venezuelan people, declaring that she assumed the responsibility on behalf of all citizens. She also condemned the U.S. operation, describing the arrest and extradition of Maduro and his wife to New York on drug-related charges as an unlawful act.
She expressed deep anguish over the incident, referring to the detained leaders as national figures unjustly taken into custody, and insisted that Venezuela would resist external interference in its internal affairs.
The arrest of Maduro and several senior officials, who are facing narcotics charges in the United States, has triggered massive protests across the country. Demonstrators flooded the streets around the National Assembly, chanting slogans in solidarity with the former president and denouncing the manner of his removal from office.
Many protesters argued that regardless of the allegations against Maduro, the military operation violated international norms and Venezuela’s sovereignty.
Inside the legislature, lawmakers reaffirmed their support for Rodriguez and re-elected her brother, Jorge Rodriguez, as Speaker of the National Assembly. Legislators also echoed campaign chants associated with Maduro’s disputed 2024 re-election, which had been rejected by the opposition and criticised by several Western nations.
Reports indicate that the operation, authorised by U.S. President Donald Trump, involved American forces entering Caracas and extracting Maduro and Flores before transporting them to the United States aboard a military aircraft.
Senior lawmaker Fernando Soto Rojas strongly condemned the action, accusing the U.S. president of assuming the role of global enforcer. He insisted that the move would ultimately fail and vowed continued resistance until Maduro is returned to the presidential palace in Caracas.
