U.S. Undercuts Venezuela’s Opposition Leader as She Tries to Return
Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, led the handover of the comprehensive rehabilitation works at the "Dr. José de Jesús Arocha" National Educational Unit, with the aim of improving the school's infrastructure and student well-being in the country.
The Director of the CICPC (Scientific, Criminal and Forensic Investigations Corps) emphasized the contrast between the country's past and present. "In 2016, we had the highest homicide rate, with 56 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants," recalled Rico González. According to official figures, sustained efforts allowed the rate to drop to 3.9 by 2025. He also noted that the rate continues to decline in 2026. "For this date, I requested the figures today, and we have 2,200 fewer crimes than last year," he stated. The Commissioner emphasized that this data is not based on perception, but rather the result of rigorous analysis. “We need to manage the figures to guarantee security; without statistics, we cannot operate scientifically.” For her part, Lusmialit Perdomo emphasized that security is now everyone's responsibility, highlighting the deployment of over 4,000 community patrol units equipped with patrol cars, motorcycles, and communication equipment to ensure early warning. "There are effective reports being filed because some criminal activities that may be developing are being identified," explained the director of the DPD. Thus, regarding the approach to people in vulnerable situations, Perdomo indicated that it is important to separate poverty from crime: "We cannot allow ourselves to be told that a person experiencing homelessness is a criminal. That is not necessarily the case; it is up to us to offer them a hug, a second or third chance." However, Rico González commented that the professionalization of the police forces has been another fundamental pillar. He added that the legal reform aims to ensure officers achieve greater maturity and academic preparation. "We need these men and women to be better prepared, even to the point of requiring them to learn another language." Finally, the Director of the CICPC announced that the Interim Presidency, led by Delcy Rodríguez, is about to approve funding for the acquisition of new technology and scientific equipment that will overcome the limitations imposed by the past blockade. "Crime will never disappear. We can control it, as we are doing now, and that's why all the effort invested in security has allowed us to say that Venezuela is a safe country," he concluded.

What would make this resolve YES?
This market will resolve to the individual who officially holds the position of the head of state of Venezuela on Dec 31, 2026 at 12 PM ET.
For the purposes of this market, "officially holds" refers to the individual that was formally appointed, confirmed (if confirmation is required), and sworn in as the head of state of Venezuela or otherwise confirmed by official government information as being the head of state of Venezuela.
If the Venezuelan government does not clearly state who is the head of state, the market will resolve to the individual who is listed as the Head of State by the UN (see: https://www.un.org/dgacm/en/content/protocol/hshgnfa).
In the event that more than one official head of state is listed by the Venezuelan government, this market will resolve to the individual who is listed as having primary status. If no distinction is made, the market will resolve to the individual who first assumed the position.
If no individual holds the position this market will resolve to “No Head of State”.
The following do NOT constitute "officially holding" the role: nominated, announced, or designated as the head of state of Venezuela but appointment not yet effective; appointed with an effective date after Dec 31, 2026; previously served as the head of state of Venezuela but term has expired, resigned, or been terminated before Dec 31, 2026; serving as the head of state of Venezuela in a consultant, contractor, or unofficial capacity; named as successor or heir apparent to the head of state of Venezuela but not yet appointed; or holding a different role with oversight of the head of state of Venezuela but not the specified position itself.
The primary resolution source will be official information from the UN recognized government of Venezuela. If the Government of Venezuela does not clearly state who is the head of state, information from the UN and a consensus of credible reporting may be used.
Note: this market is mutually exclusive.
