Sociedad Media covers Venezuela’s historic political transition with original English-language reporting from Miami—home to one of the largest Venezuelan diaspora communities in the world. From Maduro’s capture and the U.S. embassy reopening in Caracas, to oil deals, political prisoner releases, and Delcy Rodríguez’s interim government, we track every development in the story that matters most to the Venezuelan community in Miami
The Rodríguez removal from Washington’s naughty list marks the latest milestone in a rapidly evolving relationship between the Trump administration and Venezuela’s interim government, following the reopening of embassies in both capitals
Nicolás Maduro returned to a Manhattan federal courtroom on March 26 for the second time since his capture—and left with his drug trafficking charges firmly intact, a legal fees dispute unresolved, and a president publicly promising that more trials are on the way
In three days, Washington authorized U.S. companies to invest in Venezuela’s gold mines and cleared the path for Caracas to reopen its embassy. Oil. Gold. Diplomacy. The normalization is moving fast—and the conditions attached tell the full story
Delcy Rodríguez pitched Venezuela’s reformed oil sector to Miami investors on Wednesday. The same sector ExxonMobil’s CEO called “uninvestable” in January. The reforms are real. The credibility gap is bigger
Venezuela just named a PDVSA lawyer as its new Attorney General. In a country fighting U.S. oil seizures, an ICJ border dispute, and billion-dollar arbitration claims all at once—that’s not a routine appointment. It’s a war footing
Rodríguez purged generals, asked Trump to lift sanctions & continued building a government that is simultaneously Chavista and cooperative. Venezuela’s transformation is real. Whether it leads to democracy—or simply a new form of the same system—remains the defining question of 2026
The U.S. intelligence community assessed Venezuela’s interim government as showing “willingness” to cooperate with Washington—a carefully chosen word that signals progress without promising stability
Trump predicted $100 billion in oil investment. ExxonMobil’s CEO called Venezuela “uninvestable.” Chevron says it can double production almost immediately, while wildcatters say their phones are ringing. So who is actually going to rebuild Venezuela's oil sector?
Vladimir Padrino López ran Venezuela’s armed forces for more than a decade. He survived Maduro, the coup attempt, U.S. sanctions, and January 3. He did not survive Delcy Rodríguez’s consolidation of power
Venezuela just put a man named Chávez back in charge of one of America’s largest oil refiners. Whether he actually gets to run it depends on a Treasury Department license that Washington has not yet issued
Seven years after Washington walked away from Venezuela, the American flag flies over Caracas again. And the man who helped Maduro hide the money is headed back to a U.S. federal courtroom—for the second time
Washington and Caracas are moving fast—oil deals signed, sanctions eased, diplomats returning. Ordinary Venezuelans are being told to wait. Here’s what the recovery actually looks like from the streets of Caracas
