Table of Contents
A swift and stunning turn of events has thrown Venezuela into turmoil following the reported capture of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores by U.S. authorities. The unfolding crisis prompted an immediate response from Maduro’s son, Nicolás Maduro Guerra, who has called for unity and vowed to uncover any internal betrayal that may have contributed to his father’s detention.
Immediate Aftermath: “A Day of Shock”
The capture of Maduro and Flores has sent shockwaves through Venezuela’s political landscape. Maduro Guerra, a deputy in the National Assembly, described the day as “a day of shock” in a message circulated on social networks. He revealed receiving an outpouring of support from diverse factions, stating that individuals “without getting along and even without getting along, they all told me ‘we’ll get out of this’ and that the president Nicolás Maduro He is going to come back.”
This surge of solidarity, according to Maduro Guerra, centers around a call to regroup and strengthen the existing power structure. “We are going to unite around our high political-military command with maximum unity,” he emphasized, signaling a consolidation of power in the wake of the leadership vacuum.
Accusations of Treachery and a Call for Action
Amidst the calls for unity, Maduro Guerra also alluded to potential internal dissent, hinting at a possible conspiracy. “History will tell who the traitors were, history will reveal it, we will see it,” he stated, suggesting a future reckoning with those perceived to have undermined his father’s regime.
However, he stressed the immediate need for political action, urging supporters to “concentrate on moving the country forward, on raising the flags of Chávez and on bring Nicolás Maduro Moro and Cilia Flores safe and sound.” This message underscores a commitment to maintaining the legacy of Hugo Chávez while prioritizing the return of the detained leaders.
Mobilization and Allegations of U.S. Aggression
Hours before news of the capture surfaced, Maduro Guerra issued a statement calling for nationwide mobilization. He accused the United States of a “military aggression” aimed at seizing Venezuela’s strategic resources. The deputy maintained that the operation “threatens international peace and stability” and endangers “the lives of millions of people.”
He further asserted that the Armed Forces have been deployed to defend Venezuela’s sovereignty and that his father had ordered “all the national defense plans to be implemented at the appropriate time and circumstances,” including a move “to armed struggle.”
Former President Donald Trump reportedly shared an image of Maduro in handcuffs on X (formerly Twitter).
