Nicolás Maduro Guerra

Nicolás Maduro Guerra, often called "Nicolasito," is the son of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He is newsworthy due to the recent political upheaval in Venezuela, specifically his father's alleged abduction and the subsequent swearing-in of Delcy Rodríguez as interim President. Maduro Guerra has publicly pledged his "unconditional support" to Rodríguez, who previously served as his father's vice president. This support is significant because it indicates the continued presence of Maduro loyalists within Venezuelan institutions, even amidst the current crisis. The convening of the National Assembly further highlights the entrenchment of pro-Maduro elements. His actions reflect the ongoing power dynamics and potential for continued influence from the Maduro regime, despite the change in leadership and potential US intervention.
