Nicolás Maduro no ha perdido nada de tiempo. Desde que el Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) declaró, sin publicar evidencia, su victoria en las elecciones presidenciales del 28 de julio de 2024, comenzó un ejercicio de renovación que arrancó con su gabinete ministerial y que, en 2025, siguió con una serie de comicios – criticados por organizaciones internacionales y defensores de derechos humanos – por carecer de garantías democráticas y de libertad.
TL;DR
- Nicolás Maduro initiated a renewal process after winning the July 28, 2024 presidential elections, which were declared by the CNE without evidence.
- A series of elections in 2025, criticized for lacking democratic guarantees and freedom, allowed Maduro to renew allies in the National Assembly, legislative councils, governorships, and mayoralties.
- Key political clans supporting Maduro include those of Diosdado Cabello (Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace), the Delcy and Jorge Rodríguez siblings (Vice President and President of the National Assembly respectively), and the Chávez family.
- An investigation by Runrun.es analyzed profiles of current governors and mayors to determine their connection to each clan.
- Individuals close to Maduro and Cabello dominate at least 15 out of 24 governorships, illustrating a new political map and power structure.
- Journalism in Venezuela operates in a hostile environment with laws aimed at punishing speech, impacting the dissemination of information from within the country.
