She pointed to connections between former presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez and an international network of conservative politicians with criminal records.

In a strong statement, Rodriguez linked Gonzalez to former Latin American presidents involved in pedophilia, drug trafficking, and corruption. Figures like former Colombian President Andres Pastrana, she claimed, seek to destabilize Venezuela to pave the way for a coup d’état.

The Venezuelan vice president also criticized Maria Corina Machado, calling her a “fascist lunatic” and comparing her to Argentine President Javier Milei. Rodriguez contrasted the pathetic role played by the far-right activist with the historical legacy of figures like Manuela Saenz.

“What a disgrace for the women of our continent!” the Venezuelan vice president declared, accusing Machado of promoting “the criminal economic blockade to inflict suffering on our people.”

Previously, Rodriguez had warned about the spread of technological fascism through social media, positioning Venezuela as a bulwark against fascism in Latin America.

The destabilizing maneuvers of the transnational right-wing, however, have had no impact on Venezuela’s democratic processes. On Friday, President Nicolas Maduro will be sworn in before the National Assembly as President of the Republic for the 2025-2031 term.
