Venezuelans Discuss Maduro’s Removal and Its Impact

On his 26th birthday, Wilmer Castro was thrilled to learn of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s removal from power, calling it the best gift he could receive. However, the initial joy turned to uncertainty as many Venezuelans, including human rights activist Edward Ocariz, felt a mix of fear and hope amidst the chaos following the U.S. intervention. With Maduro’s inner circle still in control, concerns about future stability and repression remain. As Venezuela faces a critical moment, the population grapples with both relief and anxiety about what lies ahead.
