Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodriguez recently told a crowd in Caracas she’s ‘not afraid’ to face the United States in the diplomatic arena 💥🌎. Acknowledging the US as a ‘lethal nuclear power,’ she urged Venezuelans to unite and defend their sovereignty — in other words, the right to make their own rules — ‘on the diplomatic battlefield.’
When asked if she’d ever visit Washington as acting president, Rodriguez made it clear she’d go ‘standing, walking, not crawling,’ signaling a refusal to bow under pressure.
Her bold rhetoric comes amid ongoing tensions over sanctions and political disputes. For young people from Mumbai’s tech hubs to Manila’s creative communities, her speech resonates as a reminder that collective solidarity can challenge even the most powerful players.
Whether you’re rallying for digital rights in Bangalore or climate justice in Bangkok, Rodriguez’s message underscores one universal lesson: real change starts when a community stands together, head held high.
