Venezuela’s vice president Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as acting president following a Supreme Court ruling.
“I come with sorrow for the suffering inflicted on the Venezuelan people after an illegitimate military aggression against our homeland. I come with sorrow for the kidnapping of two heroes held hostage in the United States of America — President Nicolás Maduro and the first combatant, the first lady of this country, Cilia Flores,” Rodríguez said.
“I come with sorrow, but also with honor, to swear in the name of all Venezuelans… I swear by our liberator father Simón Bolívar, whose liberating blood runs through the veins of Venezuelans,” she emphasized.
Rodríguez concluded the oath by invoking Hugo Chávez, pledging to work for the country’s economic and social stability.
