Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, has confirmed that the government she leads “is a constitutional government,” despite the kidnapping of elected President Nicolás Maduro by the United States during an attack on January 3rd.
The South American nation’s leader emphasized in a public event that “there is no uncertainty” on the matter, since the country is headed “by the People’s Power,” even though its legitimate leader has been absent for a week following the US military incursion, the Venezuelan News Agency (AVN) added.
“Who leads the Venezuelan people?” asked the acting president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela at an event in the 4 de Febrero Commune of Sucre, Miranda state, and then emphasized: “The People’s Power and their constitutional government, so there is no doubt here, no uncertainty.”
“The Venezuelan people rule here,” Delcy Rodríguez insisted, according to AVN, “and there is a government, the government of constitutional president Nicolás Maduro, and I have the responsibility to lead it while he is being held captive.”
“We are fighting for his return here, to our homeland, to our beloved Venezuela, because from here, the Communes, the social movements, and all of Venezuela are clamoring for the return of our president Nicolás Maduro and our first lady, Cilia Flores,” the acting president emphasized.
