CARACAS – In a significant administrative reorganization, Venezuela’s Acting President Delcy Rodríguez unveiled a comprehensive cabinet reshuffle on Friday, introducing three key ministerial appointments aimed at strengthening government operations.
The strategic reassignment sees Miguel Pérez Pirela assuming the role of Minister of Communication and Information, taking over from Freddy Ñáñez. The outgoing communications chief has been entrusted with a new portfolio as head of the Ministry of Ecosocialism, signaling the government’s renewed emphasis on environmental governance.
Through an official statement released on Telegram, Rodríguez outlined the rationale behind these changes, particularly highlighting Ñáñez’s critical mission in his new capacity. The acting president emphasized that his expertise would be instrumental in “advancing public policies dedicated to safeguarding our Pachamama (Mother Earth) and all matters pertaining to environmental preservation.”
Completing the triad of appointments, Aníbal Coronado was designated as the new Minister of Transport, filling a vital position in the nation’s infrastructure leadership. This restructuring demonstrates the administration’s commitment to optimizing governmental efficiency across multiple sectors, including communications, ecological sustainability, and transportation infrastructure.
The cabinet changes occur amid Venezuela’s ongoing political and economic challenges, reflecting the government’s adaptive approach to governance under Rodríguez’s interim leadership since assuming presidential duties.
