The problem of successors after Maduro
After Nicolás Maduro was removed from power, the United States faced a serious problem in the person of Diosdado Cabello. This hardline regime enforcer may significantly complicate Donald Trump's plans in Venezuela. As a loyal supporter of Maduro, Cabello ruthlessly backs severe measures, leading the country's security forces and brutal militia units that are accused of widespread human rights violations.He is not the president but has enormous influence over government structures and military formations.The ousting of Maduro creates new challenges for the international community, as actual power may remain in the hands of individuals who have no intention of relinquishing their positions. To achieve stability in the region, it is crucial to find effective partners in Venezuela capable of ensuring a peaceful transition to new political realities.
