She has had to assume this challenge due to the \u2018forced absence\u2019 of President Nicolas Maduro, whom she accompanied as executive vice president during the previous presidential term and in the campaign that led to the electoral victory of July 28, 2024.

\u201cIn a short time, she has earned unquestionable legitimacy through performance by governing effectively, preserving the country\u2019s peace with her democratic and conciliatory leadership, focusing her efforts on economic recovery and, moreover, by understanding with great judgment and stature the geopolitical dynamics that inevitably influence Venezuela\u2019s destiny,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYesterday, from the Bolivarian National Armed Forces and the state security agencies, we solemnly recognized her as our commander in chief and reaffirmed our loyalty and patriotic commitment to her,\u201d Padrino Lopez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
