Jan. 16 (UPI) -- The government of Venezuela Interim President Delcy Rodríguez has submitted to the National Assembly a bill to partially reform the Organic Law of Hydrocarbons, aiming to attract investment in the oil sector, particularly in fields that lack infrastructure or remain undeveloped.
Speaking during the annual address to the nation, Rodríguez presented a review of former President Nicolás Maduro's 2025 year in office and announced social, wage and legislative initiatives.
Rodriguez assumed the interim presidency after the capture of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, by U.S. forces in a predawn military operation Jan. 3.
She said the hydrocarbons reform seeks to incorporate mechanisms and production models created under the so-called Anti-Blockade Law, giving them stronger legal backing.
