Nicolás Maduro reappeared on social media with photographs taken in prison, marking his first public communication after days of silence. The former Venezuelan leader appears in the images in a prison setting, apparently in conditions that contrast with the official narrative about his situation.
In one of the photographs, Maduro makes a double V for victory with his hands, a symbolic gesture that appears to defy his captors. The image circulated rapidly on social media, generating speculation about its political meaning and the current state of the former president.
Maduro's reappearance occurs at a moment of great political instability in Venezuela, following the controversial presidential elections of July 2024. The international community has been questioning the legitimacy of the victory announced by the National Electoral Council, which granted Maduro a second term.
