After the arrest of brutal Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces, Cato Institute policy analyst Marcos Falcone released a recent blog post titled: “To Restore Liberty in Venezuela, the Rightful Authorities Must Take Over.”
In his latest blog, Falcone highlights the urgent need for a clear change in leadership, not a continuation of the status quo:
“If Trump does not force Maduro’s Vice President Delcy Rodríguez to hand over power to Edmundo González Urrutia, the rightful president of Venezuela following the 2024 election, the legitimacy of the operation could be called into question across Latin America, particularly after the US president’s brazen references to improving access for American companies to Venezuela’s oil industry as one of his goals. If Rodríguez, a socialist fanatic who has long been at the service of the Maduro regime, stays in charge, the status quo is guaranteed to continue.”
