  • Continuing political uncertainty in Venezuela following the US attack and capture of Maduro.
  • The Chavez government, now led by Delcy Rodríguez, is assuming Washington's control and complying with Trump's demands.
  • There is little haste on the part of the United States to restore democracy, and the main focus is on the control of oil resources.
  • Delcy and Jorge Rodríguez, in charge of the executive and legislative powers, are seeking a way out of the situation, whether that be a negotiated withdrawal or remaining in power.
  • The White House plan for Venezuela is to stabilize, recover, and ultimately produce a democratic transition.
  • Trump has decided to leave the Chavez apparatus intact and has chosen Delcy Rodríguez over Corina Machado because he prioritizes stability over democracy.

Conclusion: The transition in Venezuela is uncertain and fraught with challenges. The fear is that the country may get trapped in a cycle of power struggle, without giving the citizenry decisive power. Institutional reconstruction, establishment of the rule of law, and respect for the people's will are crucial.
