The Pope and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) are urging stability and peace in Venezuela following the appointment of Delcy Rodriguez as interim President after the US capture of President Nicolás Maduro. Pope Leo XIV emphasized the need for respect for human rights, sovereignty, and the rule of law, while ECOWAS expressed concern over the development, calling for respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Venezuela’s Supreme Court appointed Rodriguez, a close ally of Maduro, as interim President to ensure administrative continuity and national security. The international community is divided, with some countries recognizing Rodriguez’s appointment and others backing opposition leader Juan Guaido as the rightful President.
The situation remains volatile, with the US and other nations weighing in on the crisis. The Pope has called for prayer and solidarity with the Venezuelan people, while ECOWAS reiterates its support for the people of Venezuela as they shape their country’s future.
