As Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were “captured” following a US military operation, questions arise about the future direction and leadership of Venezuela, an oil-rich nation that is suffering
from economic collapse and a humanitarian crisis. According to Senator Mike Lee, Maduro will stand trial in the US on criminal charges.
Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are flown out of the country and the Venezuelan government has now demanded “proof of life.”
Amid the uncertainty in the political landscape of the country, questions arise as to whether the only son of Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro Guerra, will succeed his father or not.
Notably, Nicolás Maduro Guerra is a rising figure in Venezuela’s political landscape. Known as “Nicolasito”, Guerra serves in the National Assembly and has faced international sanctions while holding several high-level government posts.
