Hundreds of Venezuelans gathered in a square in central Caracas, the capital of the country, on the 22nd to demand that the US release the imprisoned President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. The event was led by Caracas Mayor Carmen Melendez and Nicolás Maduro Guerra, son of Maduro. In her speech, Guerra said that the trial was fundamentally illegal, and there is no substantial evidence to prove that Maduro committed any of the crimes charged. Gela also called on the public not to resort to war or armed sacrifice, but to resolve issues through diplomacy, negotiations, and international communication. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who is forcibly controlled by the US, appeared again in the federal district court for the Southern District of New York on the 22nd. The judge announced that the trial of the charges is scheduled to begin on June 1, 2027.
