Der bei einem US-Militäreinsatz entmachtete und in den USA inhaftierte venezolanische Staatschef Nicolás Maduro hat sich nach Angaben seiner Familie aus dem Gefängnis zu Wort gemeldet. "Uns geht es gut. Wir sind Kämpfer", zitierte Nicolás Maduro Guerra seinen Vater in einem Video.

Overview

  • In a PSUV video, Nicolás Maduro Guerra quotes his father from a New York jail saying he is well and declaring "we are fighters."
  • Pro-Maduro rallies on Saturday drew about 1,000 people in western Caracas and a few hundred in Petare, far fewer than past turnouts.
  • Top figures stayed away from the streets as acting leader Delcy Rodríguez vowed on television not to rest until Maduro returns.
  • Foreign Minister Yván Gil said Caracas has initiated steps to restore diplomatic relations with the United States.
  • The U.S. urged its citizens to leave Venezuela immediately due to militia checkpoints, while President Trump projects a prolonged U.S. role and control of oil sales that large oil firms still approach cautiously.
