Venezuela’s ruling party is collapsing after U.S. capture of Maduro, with mass defections, halted benefits, and internal strife.
Distrust, internal divisions, and the collapse of financial incentives are weakening Venezuela’s United Socialist Party (PSUV) following the U.S. capture of former President Nicolás Maduro in late 2025.
Reports from 13 party members across four states indicate a sharp decline in attendance at events—up to 70%—and a loss of loyalty, fueled by the halt of state-sponsored benefits like food parcels and bonuses.
Fear of retaliation has led to self-censorship and pressure to report dissenters, while interim President Delcy Rodríguez faces challenges from within the party, including rivalries with powerful figures like Diosdado Cabello.
Despite public calls for unity, the party’s grassroots base is eroding, with no official membership data available and no response from leadership.
The PSUV, which has ruled for nearly two decades, now faces growing instability amid economic hardship and external pressures, including U.S. demands for oil access and counter-narcotics cooperation.
