Elías Jaua

Elías Jaua, a significant figure within the chavista leadership and former Vice President of Venezuela, recently resurfaced amidst speculation regarding his possible clandestine activities. Following allegations of conspiracy and internal dissent within the ruling party, Jaua issued a statement affirming his communication with President Nicolás Maduro and advocating for the sovereignty of Venezuela against foreign intervention. His recent public appearance comes after a period of low visibility following the controversial presidential elections in July, which have intensified pressures on various members of the chavista establishment.
