According to circulating reports, tensions escalated after rumors surfaced that Diosdado Cabello—long considered Nicolás Maduro’s most powerful ally—was preparing a coup against Rodríguez. Sources close to the military suggest that Rodríguez’s initial decisions angered senior generals within the highly ideological Bolivarian Armed Forces.
Cabello is widely believed to exert control over many of Venezuela’s colectivos, far-left, heavily armed paramilitary groups that operate with significant autonomy from the central government.
The Telegram channel Tupy Report cited members of Chavista communal councils who expressed dissatisfaction with Rodríguez’s recent statements signaling potential cooperation between the new Venezuelan government and the U.S. government. According to the report, this has fueled distrust within Bolivarian ranks and raised the possibility of an internal push to “return power to Bolivarianism.”
