They claim that the Rodríguez brothers offered the US a way to stay in power without the Venezuelan president.
Senior Venezuelan officials offered the US in April and September to make a transition and overthrow the government of Nicolás Maduro, although following the line of the Chavista model in the country. The information was released after the announcement that the US authorized the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) to carry out ground operations in Venezuela.
Those in charge of carrying out the plan would be the brothers Delcy and Jorge Rodriguezthe latter president of the National Assembly and promoter of the destabilization plan for the government of Nicolás Maduro.

Qatar, a key mediator for the agreement between Hamas and Israel, becomes relevant again, now in Venezuela
The proposals were transmitted through intermediaries in Qatar and sought to convince sectors of the US government that a “madurismo without Maduro” would allow an orderly transition, preserving institutional stability without dismantling the power structure of Chavismo, according to the Miami Herald.
This year, Qatari mediators presented two concrete offers to Washington, one in April and another in September, which proposed governance scenarios without Maduro in power. In both cases, Delcy would remain as a figure of political continuity, while the retired general Miguel Rodríguez Torreswould head a transitional government.
The main argument was that the Rodríguez brothers would represent a more acceptable version of Chavismo to the United States, since none of them face legal proceedings for drug trafficking in federal courts. However, former officials of the regime, whose testimonies were used by US prosecutors in cases linked to the so-called Poster of the Sunsthey would have been singled out for their participation in logistical support tasks and financial operations.
The intervention of Qatar became relevant after the Trump administration tightened its policy toward Caracasespecially after the US military deployment in the Caribbean with the aim of stopping drug trafficking and hitting the networks of the aforementioned cartel, which Washington directly associates with Maduro. The Asian country maintains financial and diplomatic ties with the Venezuelan government and has been accused of harboring funds from the regime, acting as a key mediator in the rapprochement.
