Rodrigo Cabezas
Rodrigo Cabezas is a former Venezuelan Minister of Finance who served under President Hugo Chávez from 2007 to 2008. He has been a vocal critic of the current government led by Nicolás Maduro, particularly after his departure from the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) in 2017. A professor at the School of Economics at the University of Zulia, Cabezas has actively engaged in political discourse, advocating for democratic reforms and criticizing the failures of the Bolivarian Revolution. He was recently detained by the Bolivarian Intelligence Service (Sebin), which has raised concerns about the treatment of dissenting voices in Venezuela.
