Purga militar: así sacó Delcy Rodríguez a las fichas de Nicolás Maduro

In less than eight months, Delcy Rodríguez completed an unprecedented purge within the National Armed Forces, replacing key figures whom Nicolás Maduro had kept in positions of power for years. In this interview with Sebastiana Barráez, a journalist specializing in military affairs, we analyze the departure of Major General José Adelino Ornelas Ferreira from the General Secretariat of the National Defense Council (Secodena) after eight years in the post, his replacement by Jesús Rafael Villamizar Gómez, and the true scope of the more than 100 military movements carried out by the Rodríguez regime: retirements, promotions, and reassignments in the Strategic Regions of Integral Defense (REDI) and the Operational Zones of Integral Defense (ZODI). We also discuss the deterrent role (or lack thereof) of the Venezuelan Armed Forces following the events of January 3, the presence of Colombian guerrillas in Venezuelan territory, and the internal discontent within the barracks. ⏱️ In this interview: 00:00 Introduction: Sebastiana Barráez, military source 00:30 Ornelas Ferreira's departure: appointment or dismissal? 01:19 Who is Ornelas Ferreira and his close ties to Chávez and Maduro? 03:44 The lost video of Ornelas mourning Chávez's death 04:32 What does this removal mean for the "4F" movement? 7:00 Resolution 1302 and the official retirement of Ornelas Ferreira 8:04 The week Ornelas refused to hand over his uniform 10:06 The relationship between the Rodrigato regime and the military 11:57 The 12 zone commanders relieved of their duties in 18 days 14:13 The strategy of "gradually" implementing military changes 15:10 Who is Jesús Rafael Villamizar Gómez, the replacement? 17:37 Villamizar Gómez's questionable background 21:09 Why the Strategic Operational Command is the key to military power 22:00 The FAN's deterrent role after the January 3rd bombing 25:36 The ELN's presence in Venezuelan territory (Apure) 28:09 How all this has impacted the barracks 30:00 The internal confusion after the Minister of Defense's meeting with the CIA 32:00 Discontent and Lack of Legitimacy within the Armed Forces Subscribe to our channel:    / @talcual.digital   Visit talcualdigital.com Follow us on Facebook:   / talcualdigital   X: https://x.com/diariotalcual Instagram:   / talcualdigital   #Venezuela #DelcyRodríguez #NicolásMaduro #ArmedForces #FAN #SebastianaBarráez #TalCual #NocheD #Military #OrnelasFerreira
