Supreme Court Names Acting President
Delcy Rodríguez interim president Venezuela became the center of national attention after the country’s Supreme Court ordered Vice President Delcy Rodríguez to assume the role of acting president.
According to Reuters, the court issued the ruling late on Saturday. It said Rodríguez would take over presidential duties in the absence of Nicolás Maduro. The court said the move would ensure administrative continuity and protect national stability.
The ruling stated that Rodríguez would lead the office of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The court said her appointment would help guarantee government operations and national defense during the current crisis.
Court Signals Further Legal Review
The Supreme Court said it would continue deliberations. Judges said they would determine a legal framework to ensure the continuity of the state and the defense of sovereignty.
The court described Maduro’s absence as forced. It did not give a timeline for his return or clarify how long Rodríguez would remain in office.
Officials said the goal of the decision was to prevent a power vacuum and maintain control over government institutions.
Explosions Reported in Caracas
Earlier on Saturday, residents in the Venezuelan capital reported hearing at least seven explosions. Witnesses also reported the sound of low flying aircraft over Caracas.
Authorities did not immediately release details about the explosions. They also did not confirm damage or casualties.
The reports added to fears of instability following recent military developments.
Trump Claims Capture of Maduro
US President Donald Trump said the United States captured President Maduro and his wife. He said US forces flew them out of Venezuela after what he described as large scale strikes.
Trump said Washington would oversee Venezuela until a safe and proper transition could take place. He did not explain how the United States would manage the country or for how long.
Global Reaction to US Action
