Brief
An opinion column argues that the removal of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores from Fuerte Tiuna on January 3, 2026 was more than an isolated episode in Venezuela’s political crisis. The author portrays it as the beginning of a new, largely hidden power structure. The excerpt does not identify who conducted the operation or explain how the alleged arrangement functions.
If the column’s premise is substantiated, the emergence of an undeclared power structure would materially affect assessments of sovereign authority, policy continuity and institutional control in Venezuela. Those questions directly shape the enforceability and political durability of any investment framework.
