Venezuela News | Delcy Rodriguez Vows to Continue Releasing Prisoners Detained Under Maduro Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez on Wednesday vowed to continue releasing prisoners detained under former President Nicolás Maduro during her first press briefing since Maduro was ousted by the United States earlier this month. Addressing journalists from the steps of the presidential palace, Rodríguez struck a conciliatory tone and said the Venezuelan government was entering a “new political moment." She offered assurances that the process of releasing hundreds of detainees — a move reportedly made at the behest of the Trump administration — "has not yet concluded.”
