In Venezuela, a significant shift has occurred as interim president Delcy Rodríguez has acknowledged the existence of political prisoners, a move that could offer an unexpected opportunity for the country's citizens. This development is part of a broader, ongoing experiment by the Caracas regime to determine the balance between political openness and necessary repression, all aimed at ensuring its survival. The situation is influenced by the business interests of the United States and the government's strategy of granting a semblance of freedom to Venezuelans without granting true liberty. Rodríguez's admission marks a notable step in this complex political landscape.
