In a dramatic turn of events, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was captured and removed from power by the Trump administration, arriving in the United States to face charges. The news has sparked a range of reactions both within Venezuela and internationally, with residents in Caracas expressing a mix of hope and worry about what comes next for their country.
Caracas residents are cautiously optimistic about the future, with some seeing Maduro’s arrest as a potential turning point in Venezuela’s political landscape. However, there is also concern about the implications of US intervention in their country, given the tense political climate and history of foreign involvement in Latin America.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy weighed in on Maduro’s capture, suggesting that the US “knows what to do next” with dictators after military operations. This statement reflects a broader international response to the situation, with countries and leaders around the world closely monitoring the developments in Venezuela.
The Venezuelan military has recognized Vice President Delcy Rodriguez as the acting leader following Maduro’s capture. Rodriguez, who has served as Maduro’s vice president since 2018, is next in line in the presidential succession. This move indicates an attempt to maintain stability and continuity in Venezuela’s government amid the ongoing political turmoil.
However, not all reactions to Maduro’s arrest have been positive. Senator Chris Murphy criticized the US intervention in Venezuela, emphasizing the need to consider the broader implications of such actions. He highlighted the presence of “evil, brutal dictators” around the world but cautioned against unilateral military interventions.
As the situation in Venezuela continues to unfold, it is clear that there are diverse perspectives and concerns at play. The future of the country remains uncertain, with both hope and worry shaping the reactions of Venezuelans and the international community alike.
