US Operation in Venezuela
The USA conducted an operation in Venezuela, resulting in the removal of President Nicolás Maduro. According to Venezuelan military sources, 100 people died in the operation, including 23 servicemen. The operation took place on January 3rd, and by January 5th, Maduro and his wife were taken to court in New York.
Nicolás Maduro is charged with several serious criminal offenses. The charges against him were filed in absentia in March 2020. The Venezuelan government, including Diosdado Cabello, stated that 100 people died as a result of the actions of the USA, a significant portion of whom were Maduro's security forces. The authorities in Cuba also confirmed the deaths of their military personnel and intelligence officials.
Reaction to Events
The acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodrigues, declared a seven-day mourning period in light of these tragic events. The US operation has sparked significant resonance and has become an important milestone in Venezuela's political life.
This operation could have serious consequences for stability in the region, as it has provoked a sharp reaction not only in Venezuela but also in other Latin American countries. The change of power in Venezuela may also impact the USA's relations with other states that supported Maduro's regime, particularly Cuba. In the context of international politics, it is important to observe the further steps of the new government and the reactions of the opposition and supporters of the former president.
