Czech citizen imprisoned in Venezuela released, foreign minister says

A Czech national imprisoned in Venezuela since 2024 on allegations of involvement in a plot to assassinate then President Nicolas Maduro and overthrow his government has been released, Czech Foreign Minister Petr Macinka has announced. The man was freed alongside other foreign detainees as part of a broader release of political prisoners by Venezuelan authorities.​ According to Czech media, he had been arrested over claims he planned to participate in a conspiracy against Maduro, though Prague has consistently rejected the accusations and previously described his detention as unlawful and without a fair trial. Macinka said the release followed several weeks of intense diplomatic negotiations and confirmed that citizens of Ireland, Romania, Germany, Albania, Ukraine and the Netherlands were also among those freed.​ The development comes amid a wider prisoner‑release process in Venezuela, with rights groups noting that the number of […]

Trump posts self as ‘acting president’ of Venezuela

US President Donald Trump has shared a doctored image on his Truth Social account describing himself as the “Acting President of Venezuela, incumbent January 2026.” The graphic, styled to look like a Wikipedia page, lists him as both the 45th and 47th US president and claims he now leads the South American country.​ The post comes days after a US military operation in Caracas that saw Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores captured and flown to New York to face drug and weapons related charges. Trump has said his administration will “run” Venezuela and oversee its oil assets during what he calls a transition period.​ Despite Trump’s online claim, no international body or foreign government has recognised him as Venezuela’s acting leader. The country’s actual acting president is Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, who has rejected US authority […]

Families doubt Venezuela’s prisoner release pledge

The son of an imprisoned Venezuelan opposition figure has urged former US President Donald Trump to remain firm on Caracas, warning that the government has not honoured its pledge to free large numbers of political detainees. Ramón Guanipa, whose father Juan Pablo Guanipa is a prominent opposition leader, said only a small fraction of those jailed for political reasons have been released so far. He believes Trump may not yet be aware that fewer than 50 of the more than 800 reported political prisoners have actually been freed. Last week, the Venezuelan authorities announced they would begin releasing detainees in what they described as a goodwill gesture. The move followed the dramatic seizure of President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas on 3 January by US forces, after which he was taken to New York to face drug-trafficking charges. Soon after the […]

Venezuela, Russia, China and UK voices urge US to free Maduro

Venezuela, Russia, China and political voices in the United Kingdom have called on the United States to release Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, after their capture in a US military operation over the weekend. At an emergency UN Security Council session in New York requested by Caracas, the Venezuelan government and its allies denounced the raid as a violation of the UN Charter and a dangerous precedent for the international order.​ Russia told the Council that the US action signalled a return to an era of lawlessness and domination by force, accusing Washington of acting as a self appointed global judge for political and economic gain. China said no country could claim to be the world’s police or international judge and warned that using military force as a solution would only deepen crises and erode the […]

Capture de Maduro : un tournant géopolitique majeur

Le 3 janvier 2026, les États-Unis ont mené une opération militaire directe sur le territoire vénézuélien, conduisant à l’arrestation du président en exercice, Nicolás Maduro, puis à son transfert forcé vers les États-Unis, où il doit être traduit en justice. Cette action, revendiquée publiquement par le président américain Donald Trump, est présentée par Washington comme relevant de la sécurité nationale. Les faits sont établis et confirmés au plus haut niveau de l’État américain. En moins de vingt-quatre heures, une puissance militaire a capturé un chef d’État en fonction sur son sol national, sans mandat international, sans résolution du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies et en l’absence de conflit armé officiellement déclaré entre les deux pays. Selon les informations disponibles, l’opération aurait été précédée d’une phase de communication diplomatique destinée à masquer les préparatifs militaires. Alors que Donald Trump évoquait […]
