This development comes in the wake of a U.S. military operation and escalating political crisis in Venezuela.<\/p>\n<p>During the swearing-in ceremony, Rodr\u00edguez referred to the legacy of Hugo Ch\u00e1vez and pledged to work towards restoring dignity and improving the lives of millions of Venezuelans, while ensuring a secure future for coming generations. She emphasized that she will not cease efforts until the country reaches its rightful place as a free and independent nation.<\/p>\n<p>The interim president also stated that she will work tirelessly to ensure public peace, the psychological wellbeing of the people, and the country\u2019s social and economic stability. These remarks come amid ongoing concerns about the domestic and international consequences of recent developments.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Venezuela\u2019s ruling administration has declared a national emergency and granted security forces and police the authority to arrest individuals involved in supporting or promoting the U.S. military attack. According to reports, this decision was made in direct response to the U.S. military operation and Maduro\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Although Venezuelan officials have stated that these measures aim to guarantee internal security, no clear details have been provided regarding the criteria for arrests or how this order will be implemented.
