Jorge Rodríguez

Jorge Rodríguez is the President of the Venezuelan National Assembly and the brother of Delcy Rodríguez, the current interim President of Venezuela. He is a prominent figure in the Venezuelan government. He is newsworthy due to his involvement in the recent amnesty law for political prisoners and the ongoing political turmoil in Venezuela following the capture of Nicolás Maduro. Recent developments include the announcement of amnesty for over 1,500 political prisoners, a process described as slow and opaque by NGOs. Despite the announced releases, many families are still waiting for their loved ones to be freed, and reports of continued repression persist. His role as National Assembly President and his familial connection to the interim President make him a key player in the current political landscape and the ongoing negotiations and power struggles within Venezuela.
