Global News Podcast · Why Venezuela moves towards freeing political prisoners · 6 Feb 2026 podcast

But it's certainly a move that has been applauded, has been welcomed by many people in Venezuela who have been demanding that the U.S.

intervention should start to result in real political changes in Venezuela.

Certainly, the US government has been saying that one of their big demands is precisely this, that prisoners are released.

And it's also going to help the US government deflect criticism of those, of some commentators who have said that the situation after the US military intervention had not changed that dramatically in many senses.

The fact that the

Chavista apparatus, the Chavista government was still very much in charge and still continuing with practices that had been condemned, but of course internally and in the international community as well.

So it is going to be an argument used by the US government as well to suggest that things are indeed changing, maybe slowly, but they seem to be changing to some degree in Venezuela.

That is a crucial question, not only about the judiciary, but about all institutions in Venezuela.

There seems to be, in some cases, an apparent duality in cases where the government seems to be obeying U.S.

demands and some cases in which it still operates the way it has been operating before.

So it is still unclear how much autonomy this government still has and how much it is only following U.S.

orders.

There's officials who have told US media that there's an ongoing operation against a third tanker in the Caribbean.

There's media reports saying that the tanker had been en route to Venezuela and that it was not carrying a recognised national flag.

Therefore, it would be, according to these reports, subject to boarding and inspection by US forces.

There's not much more known about it, the specific details.

Apparently, it is an ongoing operation.

Venezuela certainly has been very strongly rejecting these U.S.

operations.

As you said, they have not confirmed either.
