Venezuela Starts Early Christmas Amid Post-Maduro Transition and Quake Recovery

Venezuela's government began its traditional early Christmas season on November 1, 2026, in a context marked by the absence of former President Nicolás Maduro, who was captured by U.S. military forces in January 2026, and the ongoing recovery from a double earthquake on June 24 that hit the northern state of La Guaira. The report indicates a significant political shift in Venezuela, but details on the current government's composition and the extent of earthquake damage remain unclear. This development signals a new phase in Venezuelan politics and highlights the country's dual challenges of political transition and disaster recovery.
