Nicolas Maduro Guerra, the son of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, has called for supporters to take to the streets following his father’s capture by U.S. forces and transfer to a New York jail. In a defiant audio message, the congressman stated, “You will see us in the streets, you will see us by people’s sides, you will see us fly the flag of dignity,” adding, “They want us to appear weak, but we will not show weakness.”
The operation’s seamless execution has fueled speculation of betrayal from within Maduro’s inner circle, a notion echoed by his son. “History will tell who the traitors were, history will reveal it. We will see,” Maduro Guerra said. His father is scheduled for a court appearance in New York, while Deputy Delcy Rodriguez has been appointed Venezuela’s acting president.
