Nicolas Maduro Guerra, son of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, delivered an impassioned speech during a National Assembly session in Caracas this week, pledging to uphold his father’s political legacy following the Venezuelan leader’s reported capture by U.S. special forces over the weekend. The younger Maduro, visibly emotional, denounced the operation as a "blatant violation of international law" and vowed to rally support for acting President Delcy Rodriguez.
The incident has sparked regional tensions, with Latin American leaders calling for restraint. Analysts suggest the escalation could destabilize Venezuela’s fragile economy further, impacting global oil markets. Meanwhile, international organizations remain divided on the legality of the U.S. intervention.
Maduro Guerra’s address, which concluded with the declaration "Homeland is in good hands, Dad!" has galvanized supporters in Caracas, where protests both for and against the government continue. Observers warn of prolonged uncertainty as diplomatic efforts intensify.
