12:01 (11:01)⇢Trump's Direct Rule over Caracas
⌨Spanish editors are documenting Nicolás Maduro's formal legal plea of 'not guilty' in New York, where he defined himself as a 'kidnapped' president (RTVE, El País, El Español). Simultaneously, a shift in regional power is noted as Donald Trump asserts direct command over Venezuela, bypassing traditional opposition in favor of Delcy Rodríguez (El Mundo, La Razón, 20minutos, eldiario.es, El Plural). Traditional Epiphany events like the 'Lotería del Niño' and the Military Easter provide a domestic counterpoint (La Vanguardia, El Confidencial, El Periódico, Libertad Digital).
