“Has it been tough? Yes, very tough. However, it is a month of certainty in the people, of feeling prepared by you to face this challenge. And of feeling sad but strengthened in you, in your serenity, your peace that you transmit to us in this moment. Here we are, Dad, with the homeland and the people united and steadfast. And when I see you again, we will give each other a hug and continue the path of Bolívar and Chávez, so that the Venezuelan family may have a dignified, happy, full, and developed life in all fields and dimensions.Long live Venezuela!

US attacked Venezuela

As the year 2026 began, Trump ordered the US military to launch Operation Absolute Resolve. It was a direct US intervention in Venezuela that led to the capture of Nicholas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, from their compound in Caracas. Maduro and Flores were flown to New York City and charged with narco-terrorism and drug trafficking. They pleaded not guilty in a Manhattan federal court. Trump declared that he will ‘run’ Venezuela. Meanwhile, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez was sworn in as Venezuela's acting president. While she denounced the capture of Maduro, her government has since begun releasing some political prisoners as a gesture toward “consolidating peace.” Maduro is currently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York. Maduro pleaded not guilty to all charges during his initial court appearance on January 5. His next scheduled court hearing is set for March 17. On Jan 13, Maduro's X account became accessible again, with no clarity as to who is using it on his behalf.
