The Disenso Foundation, a think tank associated with the Spanish political party Vox, announced on Tuesday the upcoming release of a documentary titled "Delcy: Anatomy of a Chavista Enforcer," which focuses on the political journey of Venezuela’s acting president.

The announcement was made via the foundation's official account on X, accompanied by a cinematic-style trailer and a statement describing Delcy Rodríguez as "the woman who, for over two decades, has executed the decisions that have enabled the Chavista tyranny to remain in power."

The foundation did not specify the exact release date for the full documentary, only mentioning that it would be available "very soon."

Delcy Rodríguez's Political Milestones

According to the Disenso Foundation, the documentary explores key episodes in Rodríguez's political career, including her tenure as Foreign Minister from 2014 to 2017, her presidency of the National Constituent Assembly in 2017, her role as Executive Vice President since 2018, and her current leadership of the Venezuelan state.

Rodríguez assumed the position of acting president of Venezuela on January 5, 2026, following the capture of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces two days earlier. The Venezuelan Supreme Court ordered her appointment under the "forced absence" statute, and the National Bolivarian Armed Forces formally recognized her as the commander-in-chief on January 29 of that year.

The Role of the Disenso Foundation

Founded in 2020 as the intellectual and cultural arm of Vox, the Disenso Foundation is led by Santiago Abascal. Spanish media reports that the party has allocated nearly 13 million euros to the foundation since its inception. The organization has a history of producing documentaries critical of the Bolivarian alliance, including "Unmasking the São Paulo Forum" and "María Corina: The Quest for Freedom."

The documentary comes at a significant political juncture for Rodríguez. In addition to her role as head of state, she is engaged in discussions with the United States and the IMF amid Venezuela’s severe economic crisis. The Spanish outlet OKDIARIO, in its coverage of the announcement, noted that the Disenso Foundation also criticizes Washington's "leniency" towards the current Venezuelan leader.

Rodríguez is barred from entering the European Union due to sanctions related to serious human rights violations. In 2020, she was involved in the so-called "Delcygate," when she met with then Spanish minister José Luis Ábalos at Madrid-Barajas airport despite being banned from entering the Schengen Area.

The Disenso Foundation summarized the documentary’s purpose as "a journey through the key episodes of the political career of the woman who, for over two decades, has enforced the decisions that have enabled the Chavista tyranny to stay in power."
