The caretaker administration is stabilising Venezuela

This position holds that the caretaker administration in Venezuela is stabilising the country and restoring order. Its advocates point to reform, economic recovery, wage increases, a minimum income, normalisation and pragmatic rebuilding, and they frame the administration's first hundred days as a record of progress.

Outlets associated with the European Union carry it, thirty-three publishers in all, in English, Spanish and German. It appears in the dispute over Venezuela's transition after the US intervention, where it is framed as stabilisation and reform. The administration it describes is led by interim president Delcy Rodríguez.

No competing position is recorded against it, but recent events show the contested ground. Rodríguez replaced the top military commanders, and Venezuelan authorities arrested the Maduro ally Alex Saab in a joint operation with US authorities. The US is brokering talks on new elections, opposition leader María Corina Machado criticised a US oil deal as serving an illegitimate regime, and Trump posted a map showing Venezuela as the 51st US state.
