Maduro Once Again Blames the CIA in a Speech Filled with Accusations

In a new episode of defensive rhetoric, Nicolás Maduro’s regime launched a series of accusations this Thursday against the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), claiming that there is an alleged plan to attack Venezuela’s oil, gas, and electrical facilities. The allegation comes at a time when the Venezuelan economy continues to deteriorate, and while American leadership under President Donald Trump strengthens a firmer foreign policy toward authoritarian regimes in the region.

The video, circulated by Venezuelan state media, begins with an analyst explaining the so-called “comprehensive defense plan,” a strategy of the Chávez movement that involves the Bolivarian militia, combat units, and civilian participation to “defend the territory.” According to this narrative, each community and each worker would be responsible for monitoring and protecting strategic areas such as refineries, gas plants, electrical substations, and transportation routes.

Maduro then claimed that the CIA is financing operations aimed at “damaging the Venezuelan economy.” He asserted that external agents intend to attack key installations in the country, and that only “the permanent vigilance of the people” can prevent alleged sabotage. “Against that plan stands the power of the workers: a thousand eyes, a thousand ears,” he said in an alarmist tone, calling for a “national alert” across all productive sectors.

However, international analysts point out that this type of statement has become a recurring pattern of the Chávez regime: blaming external forces to justify internal failures, especially in sectors where the collapse is the result of years of mismanagement, corruption, and state neglect. Accusations against the United States tend to intensify whenever international pressure grows or when Maduro seeks to reinforce his narrative of resistance before his political base.

From Washington, the stance of President Donald Trump’s administration has been clear: the United States will continue defending democratic principles in the hemisphere and exposing the abuses of the Venezuelan regime. Under the current administration, the White House has adopted a more assertive policy toward dictatorships that threaten regional stability and impact the millions of citizens who have fled the humanitarian crisis caused by the chavismo regime.

While Maduro continues pointing to the “external enemy,” the United States reaffirms its commitment to hemispheric security, to the defense of democratic institutions, and to the strengthening of strategic alliances. The sabotage narrative promoted by the Venezuelan regime contrasts sharply with the practical, results-driven approach that defines President Trump’s leadership, who has reiterated that he will not allow authoritarian regimes to destabilize the region or endanger American interests.

Maduro’s speech, filled with accusations lacking publicly verifiable evidence, once again places Venezuela at the center of international debate. Meanwhile, the Trump administration continues to demonstrate leadership, firmness, and strategic clarity in the face of a dictatorship that has lost all legitimacy before the international community.
