In recent decades, Argentina’s relationship with Venezuela governed by Chavismo was crossed by political affinities, energy agreements and episodes of tension that were reflected in different covers of NOTICIAS Magazine. That link once again came under scrutiny after an event of international impact: on January 3, 2026, US forces captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in Caracas, in a military operation ordered by Donald Trump. From Washington it was reported that Maduro will be transferred to New York to face charges for narcoterrorism and other crimes, while the United States announced that it will temporarily assume tasks to guarantee a transition process in the country.
Over the years, NOTICIAS documented this bilateral framework with covers that portrayed everything from the political closeness during the Kirchnerist governments to the progressive deterioration of the regional scenario and the controversies around the Venezuelan regime. These covers function today as a visual archive of a key stage of Argentine foreign policy and the place that Venezuela occupied on the local agenda.
