This surprise announcement contradicts statements by regime hardliners like Diosdado Cabello that the alleged infractions mark an historic act of fraud and will prevent the referendum from advancing.

The mixed messages reflect the chaotic state of Venezuela’s leadership. If Rondon’s comments are sincere, they highlight the power struggle emerging between governing factions. In the days to come, it will be important to examine the response to the government rift by the institutional military led by General Padrino Lopez and elements within the National Guard and the armed “coletivos” supportive of using all means necessary to keep the Bolivarian Revolution alive. Regardless, Maduro is losing control of the situation and change at the top is likely.
