The junior mob boss. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that "everything we've requested (from the Rodríguez administration), in terms of economic and political reforms, has been delivered."
Also said there will be elections before the end of Trump's term
Importante, Rubio sobre Delcy:
1/ «No creo que se haya pronunciado nunca a favor de la operación del 3 de enero». Pero «no juzgamos por la retórica, sino por los hechos». «Les hemos pedido que hagan cosas en interés de la seguridad nacional de EE.UU. y las han hecho».
2/ ¿Qué ha hecho Delcy? Rubio cita la entrega de Alex Saab, operaciones contra organizaciones criminales y la reducción «sustancial» de la influencia cubana e iraní. «Todo lo que les hemos pedido, tanto en las reformas económicas como en las políticas, está ocurriendo».
3/ El plan de Washington, según un alto funcionario del Departamento de Estado: «Nuevo Supremo antes de terminar el año. Nuevo Consejo Electoral poco después». A continuación, Delcy deberá declarar la vacante definitiva de la Presidencia para abrir el proceso electoral. Lo hará.
4/ Rubio advierte: «Tenemos unos plazos que han aceptado y, hasta ahora, los han cumplido todos». «¿Esperarnos dos años? Eso no va a ocurrir». Y remata: «En el mejor de los casos, me quedan dos años y dos meses en este puesto». Quiere completar la transición mucho antes de que acabe el mandato presidencial, es decir, 2028.

Acting like they own the place. A State Dept official claimed that, after the US-backed dialogue leads to a new Supreme Court, and a new electoral council after that, the Venezuelan presidency should be declared "vacant" (by the National Assembly) to pave the way for elections
ATENCIÓN. Informa la agencia @EFEnoticias que un alto funcionario del Departamento de Estado explicó que EE.UU. espera que Delcy Rodríguez deje vacante la presidencia de Venezuela en 2027.
"Una vez que se establezcan esas dos cosas, el nuevo TSJ a finales de este año, y el nuevo CNE poco después, y ese trabajo ya ha comenzado, entonces deberían declarar vacante permanente en la presidencia a Delcy Rodríguez", afirmó.

Venezuela’s acting government has suspended mandatory fiscal printers, plans to introduce free digital invoicing and is preparing a tax reform before the end of 2026. Rodríguez reported a 27% rise in October tax revenues but gave no basis for comparison. venezuelanalysis.com/news/ve…

It's beyond surreal to see mogul Betancourt assume such a central role as if it's the most natural thing in the world. In 2020, then Comms VP and now National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez called him a "thief" who pilfered billions from state contracts and became "the main financial backer" of Juan Guaidó

The ever-present colonial overlords. Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, flanked by US ambassador John Barrett, praised progress in the "historic" oil deal in the Western Venezuela light crude oilfields and vowed that they'll start exporting natural gas next year
Venezuelan legislator Jorge Arreaza is going back and forth w/ far-right commentators. He labels the Jan. 3 attacks as "a use of military force, outside int'l law, built on false accusations (Cartel of the Suns, etc.)." Arreaza adds that, after that, the US "rectified its policy", leading to a "fluid relation like the one between 1999-2015, before sanctions"

And here's confirmation from Rubio that far-right Machado's return to Venezuela has Washington's blessing, as well as a subtle warning not to rock the boat on the plundering of spoils
The conditions allowing for the safe return of Ms. Machado to Venezuela is the direct result of the U.S. supported reconciliation talks which has already seen hundreds of political prisoners freed and hundreds of political opposition figures return from exile.
The United States expects the freedoms of all sectors of Venezuelan politics to continue to be respected. Likewise, we expect all political actors to support these talks which represent the best chance Venezuela has had in thirty years to peacefully achieve not just a free and fair election but an enduring democracy.

Warming up for privatizations. Full of business mumbo-jumbo, Adriana Cisneros, heiress to one of Venezuela's largest oligarchic conglomerates, is full of hope that the country will soon be a paradise once more for the bourgeoisie
