The Venezuelan content creator and singer Jonathan Moly shared an emotional video on his social media that has gone viral, showing the moment he tells his wife that Nicolás Maduro was captured during a U.S. military incursion in Caracas on January 3rd.
In the images, the artist's wife is seen sleeping next to her small children when Moly enters the room and whispers the news: “Skinny, they captured Maduro”. The woman, visibly bewildered, gets out of bed in disbelief at what she hears, while he smiles with contained excitement.
Minutes later, Moly explained in her post: “I had to wake her up to give her the news. It finally happened. I love you so much, my skinny one.” The scene, simple yet powerful, reflects the blend of familial tenderness and the deep political joy that many Venezuelans feel after years of waiting and suffering.
The confirmation of the capture of Nicolás Maduro and his wife was announced by the American president Donald Trump, who stated that both were taken out of Venezuela.
The military operation took place in Caracas and marks a historic shift in Venezuelan and regional politics.
The video of the Moly family has become a symbol of hope for millions of Venezuelans both inside and outside the country, especially for those in exile, who dream of returning to a free and democratic Venezuela.
In just a few hours, the post garnered hundreds of thousands of reactions and messages of joy.
"The true joyful awakening," "We are free," and "See you in Venezuela" are some of the phrases that flooded social media, in an atmosphere of national euphoria and collective excitement.
