Muchos de los miembros de nuestra misión ya se encuentran exhaustos. Por ello, hemos decidido enviar un séptimo avión con 120 especialistas para relevar a quienes más lo necesitan. Los otros 180 integrantes del contingente original continuarán en el terreno, por lo que mantendremos en todo momento un equipo de 300 rescatistas, médicos, paramédicos, psicólogos, veterinarios, bomberos y otros especialistas, muchos de ellos preparados específicamente para esta nueva fase de la misión.
Además, aprovechamos este vuelo para enviar cinco toneladas adicionales de ayuda humanitaria, con medicamentos, alimentos, insumos y equipo para reforzar las labores que continúan en la zona.
Nuestros equipos de rescate siguen trabajando al 100%. Muchos de los nuevos integrantes se incorporarán directamente a esas labores, aunque sabemos que cada vez es más difícil.

🚨 Denunciamos la desaparición de Wilmer Antonio Cruz, conocido como “El Topo de La Guaira”, visto por última vez el 1 de julio mientras participaba en labores de rescate en la OPP-26 Caribe, Caraballeda.
Tras ocho días rescatando víctimas, denunció la falta de maquinaria, el abandono del Estado y aseguró que habían recuperado decenas de cuerpos sin apoyo oficial.
“Estas pobres manos, mira cómo las tengo, todas destrozadas”, exclamó.
Exigimos información de su paradero y el resguardo de su integridad física.
#QueSeanTodos
Durante estos días les he compartido principalmente las labores de búsqueda y rescate, porque cada vida salvada representa una enorme esperanza.
Pero nuestra misión en Venezuela va mucho más allá. Nuestros equipos también trabajan sin descanso llevando ayuda humanitaria a quienes más lo necesitan, con alimentos, agua potable, medicamentos, insumos médicos y todo lo necesario para fortalecer la respuesta a esta emergencia.
Al mismo tiempo, médicos y personal especializado brindan atención directa en hospitales y comunidades, así como atención veterinaria para los animales afectados.
Fuerza Venezuela 🇸🇻🇻🇪
Wilmer Antonio Cruz denunció que la dictadura de Delcy Rodríguez no brindó ningún tipo de ayuda a los ciudadanos para recuperar a sus familiares, AHORA ESTÁ DESPARECIDO.
"El odio que yo siento, porque tengo mucho odio y se lo voy a decir al pueblo. Tengo demasiado odio porque aquí tienen que ayudarnos y no nos han ayudado. Miren cómo estamos aquí. ¿Esto puede ser posible que esta es la máquina que uno tiene? Estas pobres manos, mira cómo las tengo, todas destrozadas".
183 horas bajo los escombros.
Más de 120 horas luchando para salvarlo.
Más de 100 rescatistas de 5 países.
Hernán vuelve a respirar libremente hoy…
GRACIAS!
Venezuela estará siempre agradecida con cada persona que hoy nos acompaña y ayuda a salvar una vida.
Vamos a salir de esto, vamos a levantarnos.
Venezuela VOLVERÁ A RESPIRAR en LIBERTAD.
Asolada por un terremoto y gobernada por una torpe e ineficaz usurpación, Venezuela es hoy una patria de hijos sufrientes, carentes de afecto, en absoluta orfandad afectiva y sin respuestas coherentes para construir materialmente su futuro… Su suelo se cierra para quien conoce su corazón y esta dispuesta a entregar la vida en una misión politica de salvación: a la hermana mayor legitimada por la nación para salvar a sus hermanos menores se le impide su regreso pero ella, nuevamente, vencerá el obstáculo…
Gracias, Gracias, Gracias 🫂
Gracias por no dejarnos solos,
Gracias por ayudarnos,
Gracias por salvar vidas, apoyar víctimas y ayudarnos a levantarnos.
Hoy más que nunca, somos uno 🇻🇪🌎

180 Days: The Constitutional Clock Has Run Out—and Why Delcy Rodríguez Cannot Be the Answer
By Esteban Gerbasi
There is one number that defines this moment in Venezuela, and it deserves to be stated plainly: 180 days.
That is the absolute maximum term the 1999 Constitution sets, in Article 234, for the Executive Vice President to stand in for the President during a temporary absence—ninety days, extendable by the National Assembly for ninety more. It is not a suggestion. It is not a flexible margin. It is a ceiling. And the framers wrote it precisely to prevent what we are watching today: power exercised without a mandate, indefinitely, by someone no one elected to govern.
Once that term is exceeded, the Constitution does not fall silent. It speaks clearly. Article 234 itself provides that, when the absence is prolonged, it is the National Assembly—and only the National Assembly—that decides whether it must be deemed a permanent absence. And once that is declared, Article 233 dictates what must follow: a universal election within thirty days, with a strictly transitional caretaker in the interim.
This is not interpretation. It is the text. Everything else is maneuvering.
The maneuver has a name
We know what the remnant regime will attempt, because we have seen it before: using the Supreme Tribunal of Justice to invent deadlines the Constitution does not contemplate, to deliberately blur transitional stand-in authority into a succession the charter does not authorize, to dress up what is, at bottom, a usurpation in the clothing of legal formality.
Let it be clear: keeping Delcy Rodríguez in power beyond the 180 days is not institutional continuity. It is power without a mandate—the Constitution rewritten by whoever controls the courts, not by whoever holds the people’s vote.
Why this matters to the United States
This is not only a Venezuelan constitutional question. It is a direct American interest, and the stakes map cleanly onto the priorities this Administration has set for the hemisphere.
Hemispheric security. A regime that survives Maduro under another face keeps intact the same networks that turned Venezuelan territory into a corridor for transnational organized crime. The structures behind narcotrafficking, illicit finance, and the armed groups that destabilize neighbors do not dissolve on their own—they deepen under a power that needs to finance itself without accountability. A genuine transition is the only path that dismantles them rather than entrenching them.
Migration. Every month of prolonged uncertainty and repression is another month of forced displacement pressing northward. Stability built on a vacuum administered by those with every incentive to prolong it does not slow that flow. It accelerates it. A credible, legitimate transition is the single most effective brake on the next migration wave.
Energy certainty. Reliable, Western-aligned access to Venezuelan hydrocarbons cannot be built on a government with no legitimacy of origin and no accountability. Investors require rule of law, enforceable contracts, and a counterpart whose authority will not be challenged the day the constitutional order is restored. Legitimacy is not a moral luxury here—it is the precondition for durable energy partnership.
Why Delcy cannot be the answer
The argument we will hear—that keeping her in place is preferable to chaos, that she is the stability option—must be met with the truth: her permanence does not produce stability. It produces repressive paralysis.
And it does so at the worst possible moment. Venezuela has just been struck by catastrophe. June’s double earthquake left hundreds dead, thousands injured, infrastructure destroyed, and entire communities waiting for aid the world is prepared to send. In an emergency like this, the question is not ideological. It is practical: who is going to administer that aid?
A power that prioritizes political control over rescue turns international solidarity into an instrument of patronage. It distributes by loyalty, not by need. It diverts to its own networks what should reach the rubble. It excludes those who will not submit. Leaving the humanitarian response in the hands of that circle is not prudence—it is a guarantee that the world’s resources will finance the regime’s survival instead of saving Venezuelan lives.
And while this unfolds, the doors remain closed. María Corina Machado—opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate—is barred from returning to her own country. That is not a detail. It is the confession of a project: whoever controls the airspace and the borders to block the opposition’s return has no intention whatsoever of calling free elections. The absence of a credible electoral calendar is not disorder. It is a strategy of delay.
What genuine stability requires
Real stability is not born of a vacuum managed by those who benefit from prolonging it. It is born of legitimacy. And in Venezuela right now, legitimacy has a single valid source: the constitutional act of the National Assembly declaring the permanent absence, and the election the Constitution mandates.
On that foundation—and only on it—everything else can be built: a transparent, audited humanitarian response that reaches those in need rather than those who administer it; a reconstruction effort governed by international humanitarian principles and operational independence from any faction; the recovery of looted assets; and an electoral calendar the people can believe in.
International support is welcome and necessary, anchored in interests that are legitimate and shared—hemispheric security, migration stability, energy certainty. But that support must be instrumental to a Venezuelan act, not a substitute for it. The United States can help. It cannot replace. Sovereignty is preserved precisely because the founding act is internal and constitutional. That framing also denies the regime its most reliable propaganda weapon: the charge of foreign imposition.
The cost of inaction
The risks of doing nothing are not abstract. They follow a familiar sequence: Delcy Rodríguez consolidated as the regime’s heir; aid captured and diverted; a fresh wave of forced migration; the deepening of organized crime’s territorial control. And, above all, the closing of a window that—paradoxically—the earthquake itself opened.
Crises bring clarity along with their pain. And this one has laid bare a simple truth:
The constitutional clock has already run out. What comes next is not negotiated with the regime—it is fulfilled under the Constitution. And what the Constitution requires is not that we leave Delcy in place. It is that we return Venezuela to its people, at the ballot box, without further delay.
A free Venezuela is not a slogan. It is a constitutional mandate that now has a date.

U.S. and international rescue workers, including our military, need to be able to do their jobs in Venezuela without interference. They’re there to save lives.
Anyone who gets in the way of that, including Diosdado Cabello, will be held accountable and face consequences. This is the LAST person who needs to be calling the shots. Let rescue workers do what they’re there to do.
