Summary
The Venezuelan government, led by interim president Delcy Rodríguez, has responded defensively to criticism over delayed emergency response following devastating earthquakes on June 24 that left thousands dead. In a tense press conference, Rodríguez labeled critics as "miserable" and "heartless," accusing them of politicizing the disaster. She claimed that allegations of government inaction stem from "laboratories and matrices" created to destabilize the situation, rather than acknowledging any shortcomings in the official response to the catastrophe.
