Venezuelan protesters challenged Delcy Rodríguez's presence in New York as she attended the 81st session of the UN General Assembly. Outside UN headquarters, exiles rejected her authority as Venezuela's acting president and questioned decisions being made in the country's name. Their objection centered on one point: Rodríguez was not elected.
The protest took place at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza while Rodríguez was inside the building. During the session, she briefly approached Pedro Sánchez, the president of the Spanish Government. Outside, demonstrators focused on her legitimacy and Venezuela's future under the current arrangement.
