Venezuela-opdatering: Nøglefigurer i ustabil overgang efter Maduro-arrestation

En uge efter USA's arrestation af Nicolás Maduro den 3. januar og Delcy Rodríguezs efterfølgende ed som midlertidig præsident, ulmer spændinger blandt tilhængere af det gamle regime. Som dækket i indledende rapporter om amerikansk skepsis og overgangsløfter, vækker skiftende alliancer frygt for vold midt i USA's pres på reformer.

Delcy Rodríguez, 56, tidligere vicepræsident og olie-minister med dybe chavistiske bånd — inklusive hendes far dræbt i 1976 og bror Jorge Rodríguez, præsident for nationalforsamlingen — aflagde ed den 5. januar for en ubestemt periode, efter at højesteretten tidligere udpegede hende til posten. På trods af forfatningsmæssige krav om valg inden for 30 dage har præsident Trump signaleret ingen hast, advaret hende om konsekvenser hvis hun ikke overholder, mens han øjer Venezuelas oliesektor for amerikanske investeringer som tidligere lovet. I begyndelsen udfordrende har Rodríguez drejet mod samarbejde med USA. Hendes bror administrerede eden midt i rygter om »Madurisme uden Maduro«, afvist af Washington. Diosdado Cabello, 62, justits- og indenrigsminister med en USA-præmie på 25 mio. dollars for narkotikabrott, bevarer kontrol over politiet og pro-regimets »Colectivos«-militser, som nu bemander kontrolpunkter i Caracas. Analytikeren Jesús Renzullo advarer om at han »ikke går ned uden kamp«. Forsvarsminister Vladimir Padrino López, 62, kaldte indgrebet »imperialistisk aggression«, og hævdede 100 døde inklusive 32 cubanere. Maduros søn Nicolás Maduro Guerra, 35, støtter Rodríguez og advarer mod at normalisere sådanne arrestationer. Med oppositionens pågående krav om demokrati og USA's lovet tilsyn risikerer situationen væbnede sammenstød, mener observatører.
