This segment zeroes in on the figure at the center of Venezuela's aid obstruction: Diosdado Cabello Rondón, the interior minister who served as enforcer for Maduro and now does the same for Delcy Rodriguez [1] — Ben Meiselas "Diosdado Cabello — Venezuela's interior minister and the enforcer blocking earthquake aid and rescue workers — has a $25 million US governm…" 11:56 . Video evidence shows Cabello actively preventing rescue and aid workers from reaching earthquake victims. What makes this especially damning, Meiselas argues, is that Cabello carries a $25 million US government bounty for narcoterrorism — the same category of criminal Trump claims to be fighting. Trump's continued support of Cabello and the Delcy regime, while simultaneously blocking Machado, reveals — according to Meiselas — that the policy isn't about democracy or counter-narcotics, it's about oil revenue. Meiselas also reflects critically on Machado's past decision to give Trump her Nobel Peace Prize, noting it didn't earn her any goodwill and arguing that the only effective approach with Trump is to show strength and call him out.
Diosdado Cabello, Venezuela's interior minister and enforcer for the Delcy Rodriguez regime, has a $25 million US bounty on him for narcoterrorism.
Dozens of volunteers working rescue operations confronted Venezuelan regime soldiers who were carrying surveillance equipment instead of helping search for survivors. With the Delcy government failing to organize any meaningful response, ordinary Venezuelans have been forced to run their own rescue missions.
