Opposition leader warns of plan to keep Venezuelan president in power until 2030

Opposition figure César Pérez Vivas has issued a warning to Dinorah Figuera, president of the 2015-elected National Assembly, and the parties supporting her. He cautioned them against falling into what he described as Chavista strategies, led by Jorge Rodríguez, to prolong their grip on power.

Jorge Rodríguez is the king of Machiavellianism, the king of fragmentation, and the man who has the plan in motion for Delcy to stay until 2030.

Pérez Vivas stated that the current political landscape is characterized by attempts at fragmentation and control orchestrated by acting Venezuelan president Delcy Rodríguez, aiming to obstruct the country's transition. He characterized Jorge Rodríguez as "the king of Machiavellianism, the king of fragmentation, and the man who has the plan in motion for Delcy to stay until 2030."

The former governor of Táchira stressed the importance of opposition unity, urging them to avoid internal divisions and work together to convene elections in the near future. "We cannot allow that. We have to go to an election, if possible this year or by the end of next year. In the shortest possible time," he emphasized.

Pérez Vivas also reiterated his stance on international cooperation, advocating for Venezuela to maintain a collaborative relationship with the United States. He stressed the need for clear messages to U.S. leaders, including President Donald Trump, the State Department, and Congress, to highlight the country's social and economic crisis. "We are allies of the United States, we want to work hand in hand with them, but we also have to speak very clearly, very honestly to all the political leaders of the government, to President Trump, to the Secretary of State, to the Congress of the United States, that there is a reality here, there is a people that is suffering," he stated.
