Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, in a rare interview with Time magazine, defended her government’s record and asserted that presidential elections will be held when Venezuela is “ready.” She refrained from providing a specific timeline or outlining concrete conditions necessary for the vote. Rodríguez strongly rejected claims that Venezuela is relinquishing its sovereignty, a key point of contention with international critics. The interview offered limited insight into potential concessions regarding electoral reforms demanded by opposition groups and international observers. This stance signals continued resistance to externally imposed conditions for future elections. It also indicates the government’s desire to maintain control over the electoral process and timeline. The interview was one of the few granted by Rodríguez since assuming her position.
