05.01.2026 ⇢ The Day Maduro Pleaded Not Guilty in Manhattan
⌨The morning was dominated by legal and diplomatic positioning following the U.S. intervention in Venezuela. Spanish editors transitioned from reporting on the capture to analyzing the federal court docket in New York. By midday, coverage shifted to Brussels as the European Union demanded the inclusion of opposition leaders María Corina Machado and Edmundo González in the transition, highlighting a rift with the Trump administration’s apparent preference for working with Delcy Rodríguez.
Early afternoon headlines focused on the visual spectacle of Nicolás Maduro’s arrival at the Manhattan court via helicopter under heavy escort. In the evening, the narrative centered on the courtroom proceedings where Maduro pleaded not guilty to narcoterrorism charges, identifying himself as a "prisoner of war" and a "kidnapped" president. Simultaneously, editors tracked the swearing-in of Delcy Rodríguez as interim president in Caracas, noting her defiant vow of loyalty to Maduro and Chávez despite Trump’s demands for total oil access.
