Venezuela: latest news, politics and life on the ground

Venezuela is changing in ways that affect millions both inside the country and across the region. On this tag page you’ll find fast updates, clear explainers and human stories about Caracas, the oil industry, migration flows, and the everyday effects of policy and sanctions.

What we cover

Politics: elections, government moves, opposition developments and how international relations shape the country. We break down headlines so you know what matters and why.

Economy and oil: Venezuela’s economy is tied closely to oil. We track production, company news, price shifts and how these trends hit ordinary people’s wallets.

Migration and refugees: the flows to neighbouring states and beyond remain a major story. We report on border issues, refugee camps, remittances and the humanitarian response.

Daily life and human stories: beyond big headlines, we highlight people’s lives — small businesses, healthcare access, education, and how communities cope with shortages and change.
