Jorge Rodríguez Reaffirmed as Venezuela’s National Assembly President for the 2025-2026 Term
The president of Venezuela’s National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, denounced on Thursday a series of plans led by the Venezuelan extreme right aimed at violently overthrowing the government.
During a press conference, Rodríguez stated that these groups sought to dismantle the achievements of the Bolivarian Revolution, including national sovereignty, through operations such as the so-called Operation Gideon.
Rodríguez pointed out that former opposition leader Leopoldo López was allegedly involved in diverting funds from the Simón Bolívar Program, using that money to conspire against the Venezuelan government.
According to the National Assembly president, López acted alongside Ronald Carreño, who was responsible for receiving resources intended to finance these destabilizing plans.
Additionally, Rodríguez called on the Spanish government to investigate the funds used by former opposition leader Juan Guaidó and his father to acquire three nightclubs and 200 taxis in Madrid.
The Venezuelan legislator revealed that these establishments function as “major money-laundering operations,” due to the high volume of cash flow they handle, which would facilitate the legalization of illicit funds.
Regarding international funding, Rodríguez reported that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) had provided more than $1.68 billion in 2020 to support violent plans in Venezuela.
He emphasized that one of the objectives of these groups was to dismantle the Venezuelan state, with the backing of the opposition-led National Assembly elected in 2015.
Rodríguez’s statements reinforce the Venezuelan government’s narrative, which accuses opposition sectors and international actors of conspiring against the country’s stability.
