ICYMI: HRF CEO @ThorHalvorssen weighed in for the @WSJ on the future of Venezuela following the arrest of Nicolás Maduro.
On Jan. 3, 2026, U.S. forces arrested Maduro, ending his more than decade-long rule. Though many Venezuelans saw the moment as an opportunity for genuine change, reports of a deal involving Delcy Rodríguez, previously Maduro’s vice president, have raised questions about what comes next.
The Venezuelan people’s desire for democratic change has been reflected in recent electoral results. The democratic opposition, led by @MariaCorinaYA and @EdmundoGU, received more than 67% of the vote in the 2024 election, disproving Maduro’s fraudulent claims of victory.
