With Nicolas Maduro captured by U.S. forces, the focus has shifted to Delcy RodrĂguez. She is now the acting leader of Venezuela. People are asking if she is a real leader or just a temporary pick while the CIA and other groups pull the strings behind the scenes.
1. Who is Delcy RodrĂguez?
Delcy RodrĂguez has been a powerful figure in Venezuela for years. She was born into a political family; her father was a famous socialist leader who died in police custody in the 70s. This history made her very loyal to the socialist movement and very suspicious of Western countries. She isn't new to this—she has served as Vice President and Foreign Minister, meaning she already knows where all the power is hidden.
2. Is She Connected to the CIA or Intelligence Groups?
There are a lot of rumors about Delcy’s links to groups like the CIA or regional agencies. While she talks a big game against the U.S. in public, she has often been the person sent to have secret meetings with foreign officials.
-
Secret Talks: Some people believe she has made deals with U.S. intelligence to protect herself and her wealth in exchange for keeping the country stable during this crisis.
-
The Compromise: In the world of high-stakes politics, she might be the "safe" choice that the U.S. and the CIA are willing to work with right now just to keep the oil flowing and prevent the country from falling into total chaos.
3. Why Not Maria Corina Machado?
Many people expected Nobel Prize winner Maria Corina Machado to take over. She is the face of the opposition, but she was passed over for the presidency for a few reasons:
-
Too Risky: Machado is seen as being 100% pro-West. If she took power immediately, it might have started a civil war with the military, who still support the old government.
-
The Middle Ground: Delcy RodrĂguez already has the support of the army and the police. By letting her stay as acting president, the U.S. and the CIA avoid a massive fight while they figure out a permanent plan.
4. What Happens Next?
Delcy RodrĂguez is the person in charge of Venezuela’s future right now. She controls the world’s largest oil reserves and has to decide if she will work with the world or stay isolated.
For everyone watching, the real test will be her next moves. If she starts making deals with Washington and cutting off old allies, we'll know the rumors about her being a "puppet" or a "compromise" were true. Right now, she is the bridge between the old Venezuela and whatever comes next.
