Earthquake Recovery & Housing: Acting President Delcy Rodríguez said the Venezuela Renace Plan is restoring “peace and well-being,” pointing to 77 rehabilitated houses delivered in El Recreo and funding for 68 buildings and 585 owners in Caracas after the June double quake. Food Access: Rodríguez inaugurated the 200th rehabilitated Mercal nationwide in Caracas and opened seven Mercal sites, including in La Guaira, touting discounts up to 70% and direct links between producers and distribution. Urban Works in Caracas: Waterproofing and building protection work continues in Caricuao, with crews removing deteriorated roofing, applying primer, and installing new asphalt cover under Caracas government oversight. Economic Messaging: Rodríguez also claimed 21 consecutive quarters of growth, citing higher food consumption and domestic production gains, while urging stronger worker incomes and export focus. Education Repairs: BRICOMILES and public works teams are advancing repairs in six Caracas/Miranda schools ahead of the 2026-2027 school year. Regional Politics & Pressure: A separate report says U.S. officials are pressing NATO allies via a loyalty questionnaire tied to possible Europe troop cuts, while Cuba’s Díaz-Canel reiterated willingness to talk to Washington “without pressure.”
