Stella Calloni analyzes political crisis in Venezuela

Journalist and researcher Stella Calloni has provided a critical analysis of the political situation in Venezuela, suggesting that recent events reveal a profound weakness among leftist movements and intellectuals.

Calloni describes a rapid operation occurring on January 3, 2026, characterized as a surgical event lasting only two to three hours. According to her assessment, this involved the kidnapping of the president, his relocation abroad, and the subsequent seizure of national control. She expressed confusion regarding the lack of military resistance, noting that Venezuela possesses a large, well-equipped army and a defensive structure established during the Chávez administration.
