Diosdado Cabello, Secretary General of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), has been at the center of both international legal pressure and domestic political messaging. In the United States, Representative Carlos Giménez has called for the immediate capture and extradition of Cabello, characterizing him as a criminal responsible for “crimes against humanity.” This follows reports of a $25 million reward for his capture. Concurrently, Cabello has accused Venezuelan opposition leaders of acting as “coyotes” who profit from migration while leaving citizens vulnerable to U.S. immigration enforcement. Domestically, Cabello has pivoted toward calls for national unity and stability. During the Workers' March for Peace in Caracas, he emphasized that peace and organized labor are necessary for economic recovery, while criticizing extremist sectors for attempting to disrupt social stability. He also defended the diplomatic activities of Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, asserting she represents the voice of the Venezuelan people. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-13: Diosdado Cabello calls for national unity in Venezuela Diosdado Cabello called for national unity and peace to ensure Venezuela's stability and economic development, while defending Delcy Rodríguez's recent diplomatic participation at the FAO in Rome. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/diosdado-cabello-calls-for-national-unity-in-venezuela ### 2026-09-29: Diosdado Cabello faces extradition calls and migration accusations U.S. Rep.
