""I will really underline here that it is very early. We don't understand what the plan for a possible transition could be,""
""But at the moment everything indicates that the base of the regime, everything that held together the Maduro government, continues to be in place.""
""So removing Maduro did not necessarily change the fundamental equation of control," Dickinson said."
""Venezuela is living day-to-day. We're talking about a situation of resource scarcity and families that are having to eat sometimes only two times a day," Dickinson added. "And the way that the government has consolidated it"
Maduro will face narco-terrorism charges after an indictment in New York. President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak later on Saturday. The regime's power base remains largely intact, with hardline defense and interior ministers still occupying key positions. Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello appeared on state television wearing a bulletproof vest and urged the military and police to maintain order, while Vice President Delcy Rodriguez called for regime supporters to mobilize. Control over critical infrastructure and immediate security conditions will determine how events unfold. Removing Maduro did not necessarily alter the underlying control dynamics. The economy is in free-fall and families face severe resource scarcity.
