Venezuela's National Assembly names Delcy Rodríguez acting president in move to cement power

Venezuela's National Assembly inaugurated Delcy Rodríguez as acting president on Monday, marking an overt signal that she has won the regime's blessing for her political takeover despite her conciliatory gestures. The move secures power for Rodríguez, who had been a key figure in President Nicolás Maduro's administration. Her appointment is seen as a significant development in Venezuela's ongoing crisis, with Rodríguez now poised to assume control of the country. The move is likely to raise tensions with opposition forces and international observers.
