Delcy Rodríguez removes Alex Saab's wife from the vice ministry
Venezuelan interim president Delcy Rodríguez has dismissed Camilla Fabri, wife of businessman Alex Saab, from her position as Vice Minister of International Communication.
In a recent shakeup of the Venezuelan government, interim President Delcy Rodríguez announced the dismissal of Camilla Fabri, the wife of Colombian businessman Alex Saab, from her role as Vice Minister of International Communication. This move comes alongside the appointment of new deputy ministers for foreign affairs, signaling a shift in the administration's approach to international relations. Rodríguez's use of social media to relay these changes underscores the increasing importance of digital communication in political announcements.
One of the key appointments made by Rodríguez is Oliver Blanco as the new Vice Minister for North America, who had been identified with the opposition in recent months. This decision highlights the complex nature of Venezuelan politics, where alliances shift frequently and political figures often transition between opposing factions. Moreover, the appointment of Andrea Corao Faria as Vice Minister for Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania indicates a broadening of Venezuela's diplomatic outreach amid ongoing economic and political challenges.
The reshuffling also includes Mauricio Rodríguez as Vice Minister for Latin America, replacing Rander Peña, who is now set to take on the role of Vice Minister of International Communication that Camilla Fabri previously held. This adjustment appears indicative of Delcy Rodríguez's strategy to solidify her authority and enhance the government's communications strategy, especially given Saab's controversial position and connection to President Nicolás Maduro’s administration.
