Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez appeared on national television to address the country amid rising political tension and international scrutiny. Contrary to online speculation suggesting she was abroad, Rodríguez confirmed she is in Venezuela, not Russia.
In her televised remarks, Rodríguez declared that Venezuela “will never be a slave to America,” emphasizing the nation’s independence and resistance to foreign control. She also issued a strong warning, stating that if President Nicolás Maduro were to be harmed in any way, the Venezuelan Armed Forces would act to defend national sovereignty.
Her statement reinforces the Maduro administration’s defiant stance against U.S. influence while signaling continued loyalty from the country’s military leadership.
