Maduro announces a "special offensive" to strengthen internal security in Venezuela

President Nicolás Maduro announced the start of a national security plan that will integrate civilian, military, and police forces in the 24 states and Caracas. The initiative aims to unite the "communal circuits" with the so-called "peace quadrants" to combat crime and strengthen citizen tranquility.

Maduro described this measure as a "new stage" of work that merges popular organization with police-military power. The peace quadrants, created in 2018, are zones between 2 and 5 kilometers with the presence of police and community leaders to prevent crime.

The announcement comes amid tensions with the United States, which raised the reward for Maduro's capture to 50 million dollars, accusing him of links to drug cartels. Foreign Minister Yván Gil denounced what he considers a "serious military threat" from the U.S. and called on the international community to reject these actions.

🇨🇴🪖❌🌹🇻🇪🇻🇪 — Retired military personnel from Colombia rejected Gustavo Petro’s proposal to coordinate the Armed Forces with Venezuela, warning that Nicolás Maduro’s regime has protected illegal armed groups and poses a risk to sovereignty.

📝 In a statement issued on August 13, 2025, the Colombian Association of Retired Military Forces Officers (ACORE) warned of serious legal, institutional, national security, and ethical implications that such an approach could bring.

🇨🇴 The organization recalled that the Venezuelan regime has allowed the presence of Colombian illegal armed groups, such as dissidents of the defunct FARC and the ELN, in its territory, facilitating supply routes, refuge, and drug trafficking movement in areas such as Apure, Zulia, and Amazonas.

🇻🇪🇺🇸 U.S. has seized more than US$700 million in assets linked to the Maduro government

The U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, revealed in an interview with Rachel Campbell Duffy on Fox News that U.S. authorities have confiscated assets worth more than 700 million dollars related to Nicolás Maduro's regime.

"This is organized crime, no different from the mafia," Bondi stated. "The assets related to Maduro exceed 700 million dollars that we have already confiscated, yet this criminal operation continues to function."

According to the attorney general, among the seized assets are two airplanes valued at several million dollars each, multiple residences, a mansion in the Dominican Republic, luxury properties in Florida, a horse farm, nine vehicles, as well as jewelry and cash worth billions of dollars.

Bondi emphasized that despite the financial blows, the regime's network continues to operate as a transnational criminal structure. For this reason, last week the United States increased the reward for Maduro's capture to 50 million dollars.

What he is is the head of a drug trafficking logistics organization, a cartel.”

Maduro is reported to the Mexican Prosecutor's Office for "links with Mexican cartels"

Mexican opposition senator Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas filed a formal complaint this Monday with the Attorney General's Office of Mexico against Nicolás Maduro, accusing him of ties to organized crime and, in particular, to Mexican drug cartels.

The document, addressed to Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero and stamped as received on August 11, 2025, identifies Maduro as a "probable responsible party" and highlights that he holds the presidency of Venezuela "based on an electoral fraud that was duly documented."

The complaint, submitted as a "report of facts," invokes articles of the Constitution and the National Code of Criminal Procedures to request investigation and possible criminal prosecution.

Professor Tulio Ramírez: If we do not act now on the educational crisis, the consequences will be irreparable

Tulio Ramírez warned that the Venezuelan educational system is going through a "perfect storm" due to the emigration of teachers, the decline in the training of new professionals, the precariousness of institutions, and the low academic level of students. He pointed out that careers such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry suffer a critical shortage of teachers, while enrollment in education has dropped 80% in 14 years.

Ramírez criticized measures such as assigning 100% of university slots through Opsu, considering that they affect meritocracy, and proposed a national agreement with long-term goals to rescue education, improve infrastructure, and guarantee basic services in schools.

🇻🇪🇨🇱 Venezuelan Anesthesiology Society rejects attempt to associate the death of Venezuelan children in Chile with "genetic predisposition"

The Venezuelan Society of Anesthesiology spoke out to demand an impartial investigation after the death of 5 Venezuelan children in Chile, especially after the authorities of that country mentioned "genetic predisposition," a term the organization considered inappropriate.

They warned that discussing this without scientific support and associating it with a migratory or ethnic group "can lead to unfair and socially harmful stigmatizations."

They insisted that it is "inappropriate to consider that there is a genetic predisposition in the Venezuelan population to these clinical conditions without having conducted rigorous scientific investigations."

What happened?

The statement was made after the five cases of Venezuelan children in Chile became known and following statements from some medical societies in Latin America attributing these deaths, which occurred after surgical interventions under general anesthesia, to being Venezuelan.
