Venezuela's ruling party is facing internal divisions after 27 years of unity. The government, once tightly aligned under the ideology of the late President Hugo Chávez, is now showing cracks. President Nicolás Maduro was captured in January, and his successor, Delcy Rodríguez, is making changes that include complying with U.S. demands, and she is reshuffling the government. This shift has sparked criticism from Chavismo supporters, who are voicing their disapproval on the streets and social media. The government's warming relationship with the U.S. is a major point of contention, highlighting the party's struggle between ideology and self-interest.
