The president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, accused US media outlets of manufacturing 'virtual realities' about Venezuela to impose a 'colonial government' on his country while leading a meeting with members of his cabinet to assess the management carried out during 2025 and define the issues to be addressed for the upcoming 2026-2031 period. During his remarks at the Miraflores Palace in Caracas on Friday, the head of state devoted a segment to questioning the coverage by US media on Venezuela, urging them to broaden their view of the reality of his country.
