Trump’s warning to Delcy Rodríguez.

The situation in Venezuela is going through one of its most tense and delicate moments in years. After the departure of Nicolás Maduro from the country and growing international pressure, especially from the United States, Venezuela’s political future is moving in a terrain full of uncertainty, threats and silent negotiations.

Trump issues a direct warning

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, publicly declared that if Delcy Rodríguez does not comply with the agreements reached with Washington, she will face even more severe consequences than those suffered by Nicolás Maduro.

This statement was not symbolic. It represents a strategy of direct pressure to force a real transition and not just a replacement of figures within the Chavista system itself.

The United States made it clear that it will not tolerate a simple change of names if power remains in the hands of the same group.

Chavismo with an increasingly reduced margin

Within Venezuela, Chavismo maintains control of the armed forces, the National Assembly and a large part of the power structures.
However, their room for manoeuvre is rapidly shrinking.

The majority of citizens no longer support the regime, as reflected in the last elections. And the United States has shown that it can act quickly and accurately, even managing to get Maduro out of the country.

This has forced the key figures of Chavismo – Delcy Rodríguez, Vladimir Padrino, Jorge Rodríguez and Diosdado Cabello – to evaluate options for a possible negotiated solution.

The National Assembly enters the scene

A new legislative period begins on January 5. The National Assembly, now with more than 300 deputies after a change in the internal regulations, will have to elect its new leadership.

It is expected to know if Jorge Rodríguez will continue as president of Parliament or if there will be a political reshuffle.

These decisions will be watched closely because they may indicate whether the regime seeks to maintain control or open a real door to transition.

Is there a real transition?

In practice, there are no clear signs of a transition.

No political prisoners have been released.
No announcements of democratic openness have been made.
There are no visible changes in the military commands.

On the streets, the perception is simple:

“Maduro is no longer here, but they are still the same.”

How the country is working

Despite the political chaos, daily life continues with relative normality:

• Supermarkets and pharmacies open
• Caracas Metro up and running
• Operational airports
• Petrol available, although with queues
• Active public transport

People are buying food and medicine in an orderly manner. There is no panic, but there is a sense of caution and expectation.

The weather in the streets

The calm is fragile.

There is a presence of armed groups, security forces patrolling and silenced media.
Television broadcasts novels, cartoons and recorded programs, but no news.

Journalists and citizens take care of each other by sharing their location for safety.

Although the city works, the fear is still there.

Marches and political control

The regime called for a mobilization of support in Caracas, from Plaza La Candelaria to Miraflores.
It was a short march, without platforms or large displays, which suggests weakness.

There were no large demonstrations by the opposition. People preferred to stay at home for fear of reprisals.

The strategic silence of María Corina Machado

María Corina Machado has not taken public prominence.
He has only published a few brief messages.

All indications are that he is acting with political caution, probably in private conversations with Washington, especially with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

His party called for mobilizations abroad, but inside Venezuela there will be no organized protests, due to the high risk of repression.

Venezuela is in a tense calm, where nothing has officially changed, but everything could change at any moment.
The United States has made it clear that it will not accept a false transition.
Chavismo knows that time is running out.
And the population, although it continues with its routine, lives under a cloud of uncertainty.

The next few hours and decisions will define whether the country begins a true transformation… or if everything will remain the same, only with new names in power.
