The Cuban-American congressman Carlos A. Giménez stated this Wednesday on the social network X that “every day” the number of “Chavista agents” who are defecting and collaborating with the United States is increasing.
In that same message, he asserted that within the upper echelons of chavismo, there is a climate of internal fracture.
"What I can assure you is that within the Chavista leadership, they are betraying each other left and right," he wrote.
The legislator linked his warnings about Venezuela to the energy and regional front, noting that Mexico "surpasses Venezuela" as the main oil exporter to Cuba.
In this context, Giménez issued a direct warning about the T-MEC: "Don't be mistaken: if Sheinbaum's government continues to hand over oil to the terrorist dictatorship in Havana, there will be serious consequences when renegotiating the Free Trade Agreement (T-MEC)," he added.
His statements come after Venezuela's Minister of the Interior, Diosdado Cabello, assured this Tuesday in Caracas that the Bolivarian project will remain in place and promised that Nicolás Maduro will return to power.
In a message shared on social media and recorded by attendees at the event, Cabello stated: “It is truly sad for those who laugh at their own misfortune, because those who laugh thinking ‘they didn't take Nicolás, he was kidnapped, the Bolivarian revolution will fall,’ do not know this people, they do not know. We lost Commander Hugo Chávez, we do not have the physical ability to bring him back, because he was killed, but we will bring Nicolás back.”
During his speech on Bolívar Avenue, Cabello reiterated that “the dictatorship will not fall” and urged the population and the armed forces not to fall into “the enemy's game,” referring to the capture of the former president.
He stated that the "revolutionary unity" remains intact and described opposing versions as part of an "international destabilization strategy."
The White House, for its part, warned Diosdado Cabello that he could "meet the same fate as Maduro" if he does not facilitate the governance of the interim president, Delcy Rodríguez.
According to those sources, Washington believes that Cabello—who controls part of the security forces and armed civilian groups—can play a key role in maintaining stability during the transition process.
The report adds that Cabello, accused by the United States of drug trafficking, is seen as one of the few Chavista leaders capable of disrupting the internal order, and at the same time, as a necessary interlocutor to ensure that the country does not descend into chaos.
The administration of President Donald Trump has made it clear that it expects cooperation from the Chavista leaders who remain in the country.
