Acting President of Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez sharply condemned the actions of far-right opposition groups in the country, in particular the figure of María Corina Machado. According to Rodríguez, Machado’s supporters publicly welcomed the military attacks carried out against Venezuelan territory on January 3. She called it shameful that Venezuelans thank foreign forces for bombings and aggression against their own country, and questioned their national affiliation, saying that the true feelings of the people are rejection of any violence that causes suffering to the population.
During a public event in La Guaira state, Rodríguez also reported on the progress of work to restore homes damaged as a result of the recent military attacks. She stressed the need for an urgent review of political practices in Venezuela, to move away from interests that promote violence or support foreign intervention. Rodríguez confirmed the government’s commitment to directly assist the victims and rebuild infrastructure, stating that politics should serve as an instrument of peace and sovereignty, not as a justification for aggression against the Venezuelan people.
