The situation in Venezuela has sharply escalated following reports of the kidnapping of Juan Pablo Guanipa, considered the most influential figure in the Venezuelan opposition after María Corina Machado. The incident occurred in Caracas under extremely disturbing circumstances: heavily armed men seized the politician almost immediately after his official release following several months of illegal detention. The opposition leader's son and María Corina Machado herself have already confirmed Guanipa's disappearance, openly accusing Vice President Delcy Rodríguez of orchestrating the crime. Associates of the kidnapped leader believe the authorities are behind this action, seeking to finally suppress the protest movement in the country.

Guanipa's disappearance has sparked outrage both within Venezuela and abroad. Opposition figures are declaring a direct threat to the politician's life and calling on the international community to take immediate action. Specifically, they are demanding that the United States and the Donald Trump administration show decisiveness and intervene to prevent reprisals against the leader of democratic forces. Amid growing international pressure, Guanipa's supporters emphasize that his repeated kidnapping signals a new round of political repression and the complete vulnerability of opponents of the current regime in Caracas, requiring a strong response from global political players.
