Venezuela’s ruling party unity cracks as Delcy Rodríguez shifts Chávez-era policies

Chavismo’s long-standing “United, we will win” unity has cracked since the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro — longtime loyalists are publicly dissenting and accusing insiders of betrayal.
Acting president Delcy Rodríguez has shifted course: scrapping Chávez-era policies, cooperating with the U.S., overhauling the oil industry, releasing prisoners and even allowing a U.S. military training in Caracas.
Pushback is muted but visible—small protests, critical former propagandists and ex-ministers speaking out—and many say the rift is driven more by power and money than by ideology.
