Nicolas Maduro

There has been a big upheaval in Venezuelan politics. US President Donald Trump has claimed that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has been captured. Maduro’s wife has also been detained. After this news, questions are being raised not only about what will happen to Maduro, but also in which direction Venezuela will go now. The coming few hours and days are considered very important for the future of the country.

In fact, US President Donald Trump himself posted on Truth Social and claimed that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has been arrested along with his wife and taken out of the country. Giving further information, Trump said that today at 11 am, a press conference will be held in Mar-a-Lago regarding this entire incident, in which all the important and detailed facts related to the operation will be made public.

Venezuelan Vice President asked for answers

Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, speaking on the country’s state TV channel, demanded proof of President Nicolas Maduro’s survival and information about his whereabouts. These comments came shortly after President Trump said that Maduro had been captured and taken out of Venezuela.

What will happen next for Venezuela?

According to Sky News Chief Correspondent Stuart Ramsey, now the most decisive role will be played by the Venezuelan army and security agencies. Ramsey says that I think people will take to the streets very soon. The real question will be how the security forces respond to them.

He says that even though Maduro has been captured, it does not mean that the entire system has ended. The structure of government still exists, only its face is gone. Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez has announced the deployment of military forces across the country. He said all armed forces would be deployed in accordance with Maduro’s orders, but made no mention of Maduro’s arrest.

Discussion of CIA presence and backdoor deal

Sky News has also claimed that the CIA was active in Venezuela before Maduro was ousted. It was discussed for a long time that some secret deal was going on regarding Maduro’s exit. After Maduro’s departure, the second biggest test is for the opposition. The question is whether the opposition will be able to organize itself quickly enough to take over power. Venezuela’s opposition is made up of many different political factions, which do not maintain much coordination among themselves.
