The minister of the Interior of the Venezuelan regime and secretary general of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, confirmed that the chavismo is undergoing a process of “internal reorganization” both in the structure of the party and in the government led by the acting president Delcy Rodríguez.
During a meeting with the PSUV State Political Team in the Mérida state, Cabello assured that the decisions being made are in response to guidelines that, he stated, were established by Nicolás Maduro before his capture on January 3rd.
"We have been doing what President Maduro ordered. We are in the internal reorganization of the party, but also of the government," affirmed the Chavista leader, insisting that the political organization plays a central role in maintaining the cohesion of the movement.
Cabello also reaffirmed the support of the PSUV for Delcy Rodríguez, who took over the leadership of the Executive following Maduro's departure from power. According to the leader, the chavista figure has faced a period of "great tension" since then.
"It hasn't been easy for him," Cabello stated, assuring that Rodríguez has acted according to instructions previously defined by Maduro for various political scenarios.
The leader also referred to the events that occurred during the military operation that ended with the capture of the former president, an episode he described as a "disproportionate attack" against Venezuela.
In his remarks, Cabello emphasized the need for internal discipline within Chavismo to face the current political stage and argued that the PSUV must play a key role in organizing its grassroots.
"If anyone has influence in this for the organization and the containment of the people, it is the party," he stated.
The statements reflect the internal movements within chavismo following the political shift in Venezuela that began in early 2026, as the ruling party's leadership seeks to reorganize its structures and maintain political control amid the ongoing transition after Maduro's departure.
