"Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez reaffirmed that the country's prisoner release process remains ongoing during a press conference in Caracas on Wednesday, announcing over 400 planned releases as part of efforts to promote political understanding following the capture of Nicolas Maduro. "That process was led by President Nicolas Maduro, thinking precisely about opening spaces for understanding, for coexistence, for tolerance," she explained, noting that it 'has not yet concluded'. Rodriguez detailed that the releases have been carried out under specific parameters, remarking, "People involved in serious crimes against individuals, such as homicide, are excluded. The crime of drug trafficking is excluded. Today we can say that there are already 406 releases planned these days." National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez reported on Tuesday that Venezuela released 160 people on December 23, with more than 400 released as of late 2024. "Venezuela is opening itself to a new political moment that allows understanding from divergence and from political and ideological diversity," the acting president proclaimed. She also warned, "Messages of hatred, intolerance, and acts of violence will not be allowed. Enforcement of the law will be strict." Rodriguez vowed to 'report the truth' about the process of releasing inmates in Venezuela, noting that there are individuals and media outlets that are trying to profit from the situation. "
