Venezuela's Interim President Delci Rodríguez Declares War on Own Government in Bold Power Grab

In a significant political development in Venezuela, interim President Delci Rodríguez has initiated a power struggle within her own government, targeting key figures like Diosdado Cabello, known for his influence over security forces and paramilitary groups. Rodríguez's actions aim to consolidate her fragile rule by appointing Gustavo González López as the head of Venezuela's military counterintelligence agency, signaling a shift in power dynamics.

The move is seen as a direct challenge to Cabello's authority and control over security apparatus. Rodríguez's strategy involves a dual approach of projecting a new political image while wielding coercive power against domestic adversaries.

The situation remains tense, with fears of potential conflict between military factions, militias, and criminal groups. The support from the U.S., as indicated by a meeting with CIA Director John Ratcliffe, adds another layer of complexity to the power struggle in Caracas.
