Delcy Rodríguez of Venezuela in Caracas, the daughter of a Marxist guerrilla, was educated partly in France. More importantly, she has presented to the world the image of a revolutionary movement still united, chairing meetings of its leading political and military figures. Rodríguez is the daughter of a legendary Marxist guerrilla leader who was tortured to death in the 1970s. Ironically, Rodríguez has been aided in her task by US president Donald Trump. US officials up to and including Trump are speaking of Venezuelan oil having been “stolen” from the US.
