Venezuela's Supreme Court, aligned with the ruling Chavista party, has officially declared Delsi Rodríguez as the country's new interim president. The decision was made against the backdrop of the ongoing political crisis and is being presented by government structures as a legitimate step.
The editorial, citing sources, reports that the US administration has signaled that Delsi Rodríguez could be accepted as Venezuela's interim leader. It is reported that US President Donald Trump considered Rodríguez a more viable option due to his experience in economic management and his stabilizing role in the oil sector, stating that Maria Corina Machado, who won the 2024 elections and later received the Nobel Peace Prize, lacked sufficient political support to govern the country.
The information notes that weeks before Nicolás Maduro's detention, US officials had already evaluated Delsi Rodríguez as a potential interim replacement. This approach has further intensified international discussions on how the transition period in Venezuela will be shaped.
