Delcy Rodríguez enfrenta críticas tras terremoto en Venezuela

Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez faced a wave of criticism and protests on July 3, 2026, demanding her resignation after a segment of the public questioned the official response to an earthquake that reportedly left numerous people trapped under rubble for at least a week. Rodríguez responded to the accusations by claiming she was experiencing a health issue, which, in her own words, had not prevented her from continuing to perform her duties. The incident was broadcast on a political analysis program focused on current events in Venezuela and Cuba. According to the video, protesters in various cities in Venezuela and the United States chanted slogans demanding the vice president's resignation, blaming her for an inadequate response to the emergency. It was reported that Venezuelan rescue organizations, volunteers, and sectors of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces participated in the efforts to free trapped individuals, while public demand for a more robust institutional response grew. Rodríguez attributed his trembling voice to a health condition, which, he explained, he prefers to use as motivation to continue working. The complaint comes amid a broader debate about the validity of the so-called interim government in Venezuela, a figure once recognized by sectors of the opposition and foreign governments as a mechanism for institutional transition. As argued in the analysis program, the Venezuelan Constitution establishes a 180-day period for this interim government to end and for elections to be called, a point that unions and opposition organizations have used to pressure for an electoral solution to the political crisis. The debate over the legitimacy of the interim government has generated conflicting interpretations among different Venezuelan political sectors. The program also addressed the possibility of opposition leader María Corina Machado returning to Venezuela to participate in humanitarian aid efforts, an idea that, according to the program's host, should have security guarantees from the international community. The program also noted that Machado's potential arrival via the Colombian border, using heavy machinery to support rescue efforts, has not yet materialized. According to the report, international media outlets cited in the video stated that Venezuelan citizens affected by the earthquake expressed feeling abandoned due to the lack of a larger-scale rescue mission by the state. In response to these claims, Rodríguez thanked Venezuelan volunteers and rescuers, as well as the Bolivarian National Armed Forces, to whom he attributed a significant portion of the survivors rescued so far. The situation has created tension among various sectors of Venezuelan society, both within the country and in the diaspora, who are demanding greater transparency and effectiveness in the management of the emergency. International human rights organizations have insisted on the need to guarantee transparent access to information about victims and rescue efforts in emergency situations such as the one Venezuela is currently experiencing. For the Cuban community abroad, the Venezuelan case offers a point of comparison regarding how governments in the region face public scrutiny in critical moments. It is expected that in the coming days, various humanitarian and political organizations will continue to demand official information on the status of rescue efforts and the institutional path toward potential elections. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💬 OPEN THE DEBATE — YOUR OPINION MATTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👇 Do you think Delcy Rodríguez should step down?
