📰 NEWS | Latin American Leaders Welcome Lula Reelection in Brazil

Venezuelan, Mexican, Cuban and Uruguayan leaders congratulated Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva after electoral authorities declared him the winner of Brazil’s presidential runoff, securing a fourth term against far-right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro.

Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez called the result “a lesson against extremism,” while Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum described it as “a breath of fresh air for Latin America and the Caribbean.”

US President Donald Trump, who had backed Bolsonaro, questioned the election and claimed it looked “rigged.” Lula said his next government would seek greater popular participation and regulate foreign technology companies and social media platforms.

🖊🗞 OPINION | Western Media Accept Trump’s Plundering of Venezuelan Oil as Business as Usual

Western media outlets have raised concerns about the US takeover of Venezuelan oil, but whose interests are they defending?

VA editor Ricardo Vaz argues that corporate media largely accept Washington’s control over Venezuela’s oil resources, focusing on transparency, business risks and the interests of multinational corporations rather than the implications for Venezuelan sovereignty.

From the Pentagon’s stake in a company set to take over 17 oilfields to US control over oil revenues, Vaz argues that the debate is less about opposing the plunder of Venezuelan resources than ensuring it follows the right procedures.

🔈 PODCAST | Venezuela and 21st Century Neocolonialism

What happens to a country when the revenues from its main export are deposited at the US Treasury and returned only partially, and on Washington’s terms?

To mark Venezuelanalysis’ 23rd anniversary, Episode 48 of the VA Podcast brings our editorial team together for a special live conversation, our first ever in Spanish, now available with English subtitles.

Lead editor Ricardo Vaz is joined by Lucas Koerner, who has been with VA since 2015 and is completing doctoral research on Venezuela in the 1980s and the rise of Chávez; Jessica Dos Santos, a Caracas-based journalist, columnist and university professor with more than 20 years of experience; and Silvana Solano, our correspondent in Mérida, a political scientist and member of the Tatuy TV collective.

Nine months after January 3, the team looks at how much has changed: the US grip over Venezuela’s oil revenues, the government’s struggle to offer a coherent narrative for its turn, and the sharp break in foreign policy on display at Delcy Rodríguez’s UN appearance. They also ask what the opposition, Washington and the Venezuelan government are each betting on, and what could make those bets fail.
