Venezuela: Supreme Court hands power to vice president after Maduro's detention.

According to ТСН: Power in Venezuela has officially passed to a close associate of Nicolas Maduro. The country's Supreme Court has issued a ruling stating that Vice President Delcy Rodriguez must lead the state amid the crisis.

This was reported by Reuters.

Transfer of Power

The ruling of the Constitutional Chamber states that Rodriguez begins performing her duties 'to ensure administrative continuity and comprehensive protection of the nation'.

The judges recognized the situation of Maduro's detention by American forces as a 'forced absence' of the president. Soon, the court plans to hold additional hearings to 'determine the applicable legal framework for ensuring the continuity of the state, the governance of the government, and the protection of sovereignty' in these unprecedented conditions.

The Situation with Rodriguez

It should be noted that previously Trump expressed support for Rodriguez being loyal to Washington, but she refused to comply with the US, calling them occupiers and their actions barbaric.

'Guarantee of Continuity'

This transfer of power in Venezuela confirms the continuation of the political crisis in the country. The use of the term 'forced absence' of the president indicates a tense situation that could escalate. In conditions of instability and international pressure, the actions of the new government could significantly influence the further development of events in the region.
