Socialist Regime’s Desperate Mourning Charade
Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, herself sanctioned by the US for corruption, declared seven days of mourning to honor regime loyalists killed defending the captured dictator. Speaking through state broadcaster VTV, Rodríguez claimed “no external agent” governs Venezuela while demanding Maduro’s return from US custody. The Venezuelan attorney general reported “dozens” killed during the operation, including 32 Cuban nationals supporting the socialist regime.
Rodríguez’s theatrical visit to the José Félix Ribas Socialist Commune aimed to portray dead regime defenders as “young martyrs,” desperately attempting to maintain Chavista unity. Her rejection of US-led transition claims rings hollow given the regime’s history of electoral fraud, corruption, and ties to hostile nations like Iran and Russia.
Opposition Challenges Illegitimate Leadership
Nobel Prize winner María Corina Machado, Venezuela’s legitimate opposition leader, challenges Rodríguez’s authority as acting president. Machado correctly identifies Rodríguez as a corrupt Chavista loyalist with documented ties to Iran and Russia, lacking any democratic mandate. The regime’s National Assembly installation on January 6th emphasizes “democratic stability” while ignoring years of rigged elections and human rights abuses that prompted international sanctions.
Trump’s decisive action demonstrates America’s commitment to confronting narco-terrorism and securing energy independence from hostile regimes. The captured oil reserves will benefit American consumers while denying resources to socialist allies in Russia, Iran, and Cuba who have propped up Maduro’s criminal enterprise for years.
