Venezuelans gathered outside the United Nations to protest Delcy Rodríguez's visit. They questioned her authority and the decisions being made in Venezuela's name.

Venezuelan protesters challenged the meaning of Delcy Rodríguez's presence in New York as she attended the 81st session of the UN General Assembly. Outside the UN headquarters, exiles rejected her authority as presidenta encargada de Venezuela. They also questioned decisions being made in the country's name. Their objection was simple: 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 on Venezuela's future under the current arrangement.
