Carlos Rodríguez López(@caedrolo12):When it comes to foreign affairs, Felix Plasencia has been Delcy Rodriguez’s right hand man since the days of Hugo Chavez. One of the few chavistas who have some sort of “understanding” of the international system while also having profound connections with the chavista political and economical circles. He has been sent abroad to multiple diplomatic missions across the world to either advocate for a sanction relief agenda or solve regulatory/financial issues for the Rodriguez brothers. He’s the utility player in the Delcy and Jorge Rodriguez operation. If you want to understand how the Delcy Rodriguez dictatorship will maneuver in the international stage, Plasencia is the man to watch.
