Delcy Rodríguez, the interim president of Venezuela, made significant statements on Thursday, announcing that holding immediate presidential elections in the country is ruled out due to the need for extensive institutional reforms. This decision comes as Venezuela grapples with serious political and economic challenges.
Need for Institutional Reforms
Delcy Rodríguez stated that before setting a timeline for elections, the country needs fundamental reforms in its political and electoral institutions. She stressed that these reforms must be carried out in a way that restores public trust in the electoral system and creates conditions for free and fair elections.

She added, "We must strengthen our structures. Only then can we assure the people that the upcoming elections will truly represent their will." These statements reflect the interim government's determination to implement fundamental changes in Venezuela's political system.
Economic and Political Challenges
In recent years, Venezuela has faced deep economic crises and social discontent. Many citizens have emigrated due to a lack of food, medicine, and public services. This situation has further weakened public trust in the government and its institutions.
Despite these challenges, Delcy Rodríguez emphasized that the interim government seeks to garner international support for necessary reforms. She also highlighted the importance of cooperating with the global community in this regard, stating, "Only with the participation and support of the international community can we move towards real reforms."
In this context, some analysts believe that the lack of immediate elections could benefit the interim government, as it provides more time for preparation and implementation of reforms. However, at the same time, this could lead to increased public dissatisfaction and pressure on the government.
Delcy Rodríguez also pointed out that currently, the government's main priority is to improve the economic and social conditions in Venezuela. She urged the people to remain patient and trust the interim government, hoping for a better future.
