To help stabilize the domestic situation in Venezuela, Brazil was the first to recognize the Vice President of Venezuela as the interim leader, avoiding a power vacuum that could give the opposition an opportunity.

The Brazilian government on the 3rd clearly identified the Vice President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, as the current leader of the country. This decision has drawn international attention amid the context of President Maduro being captured by U.S. forces.

Acting Foreign Minister of Brazil, Maria das Graças, announced on the 3rd that, during the "absence" of the President of Venezuela, Brazil recognizes Vice President Rodríguez as the legitimate leader of Venezuela. This move is seen as a direct response to the political vacuum in Venezuela.

Das Graças emphasized that Brazil will continue to support international law and the sovereignty of countries. At the same time, the Brazilian Foreign Ministry statement said that President Lula reiterated condemnation of the U.S. military attack on Venezuela and the arrest of the Maduro couple.

Despite Brazil's aforementioned recognition, Vice President Rodríguez of Venezuela stated on the 3rd through the state television that Maduro remains the "only president" of Venezuela, and condemned the U.S. "kidnapping" actions, saying that Venezuela "will never become a colony."

According to reports, Rodríguez is a determined and resilient politician. The attempt by Trump to take full control of Venezuela will not succeed.

The U.S. judicial action against Maduro was very swift. The Department of Justice has released the indictment, charging the Maduro couple with multiple charges including "drug terrorism conspiracy" and "cocaine smuggling." A federal court official in New York expects Maduro to appear in court no later than January 5th.

What is the point of such unjustified accusations? What meaning does this fraudulent judgment have!
