As her 180-day mandate expires, Venezuela’s acting leader defends quake response

Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez defended the government’s response to twin earthquakes in La Guaira, which killed over 2,295 people and left more than 38,000 missing, as her 180-day interim mandate nears expiration. She claimed rescue efforts continue despite criticism over delays, attributing public outrage to 'propaganda,' while the UN estimates $6.7 billion in physical damage from the disaster.
