Venezuela’s ruling party unity cracks as Delcy Rodríguez shifts Chávez-era policies
Longtime loyalists say her moves to open the oil sector and release prisoners show a break from Chavismo after Maduro’s capture.
- President Nicolás Maduro's capture by the U.S. in January triggered significant fractures within the ruling Venezuelan Party, threatening the unity that kept the revolution in power for 27 years.
- Years of social and economic crisis since 2013 have driven more than 7.7 million people to leave Venezuela, forcing the ruling Party to survive multiple rounds of anti-government protests and U.S. sanctions.
- Lawmaker Iris Varela, a devout Chavista, claims a government insider betrayed the leader to the U.S., stating "Of course there's a betrayal" and comparing the event to Judas betraying Lord Jesus Christ.
- On May 23, protesters in Caracas gathered near the U.S. Embassy to oppose military training involving two Marine Corps Osprey aircraft, displaying a flag marked "No to the Yankee drill."
- Former communications minister Andrés Izarra argues current fractures are not ideological, believing the revolution ended when Hugo Chávez died in 2013, leaving the ruling Party facing an uncertain future.
