Delcy Rodríguez becomes Venezuela’s interim president following Nicolás Maduro’s arrest on drug trafficking charges as the former vice president was sworn in Monday.
Nicolás Maduro’s interim replacement now leading Venezuela in the wake of his arrest represents a continuation of the same regime, and with a woman who “hates the West” at the helm, a former Venezuelan official has warned.
Delcy Rodríguez’s elevation, the source said, underscores how Venezuela’s leadership continues to rely on a tight circle of Maduro loyalists rather than new figures, leaving what the source described as “the axis of evil in a geopolitical struggle remains three hours from Miami.”
Rodríguez, Venezuela’s former vice president and oil minister, was formally sworn in on Monday following Maduro’s removal from office and his appearance in a New York courtroom Monday on drug trafficking charges.
“The regime is still the same, and she hates the West”, the official told Fox News Digital, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
“Really, Delcy has evolved from a mediocre lawyer, and now she’s the president of one of the richest nations in Latin America”, the source said.
“She has probably been in every post, because they rotate the same persons as they don’t have anybody else that they trust.
‘Delcy is a very close and trustworthy person for Maduro and was also the same for Chávez.
