Minister of Foreign Affairs

On 26 December 2014, President Nicolás Maduro appointed Rodríguez as the Minister of Popular Power for Foreign Relations, also known as Chancellor, succeeding Rafael Ramírez Carreño. Rodríguez thus became the first woman to hold this position in Venezuela's history. On 21 December 2015, in the absence of President Nicolás Maduro, Rodríguez attended the 49th Summit of

She said the images, sourced from news agencies, evidenced López's responsibility for "attacks against essential public services and Venezuelan universities". Rodríguez alleged Macri had released prisoners who were responsible for repression during the last military dictatorship in Argentina and had vetoed laws aimed at addressing unfair treatment, torture, and forced disappearances. These allegations were denied by the Argentine Foreign Minister, Susana Malcorra, during a press conference. Malcorra stated that Rodríguez's accusations were incorrect and that President Macri deemed a response unnecessary. She criticized Rodríguez's remarks as overly aggressive and based on inaccurate information. In January 2016, President Nicolás Maduro publicly commended Rodríguez for her confrontation with Macri at the Mercosur meeting, stating that she had metaphorically "sent Macri to the showers". In 2016, Rodríguez accused Luis Almagro, the

On July 30, 2017, Rodríguez was elected as a deputy for Caracas to the National Constituent Assembly (ANC). Upon the ANC's establishment on 4 August 2017, in the Federal Legislative Palace, she was chosen as its president. On 27 January 2018, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro announced Rodríguez as the president of a then-to-be-legalized political entity, the Somos Venezuela Movement ( MSV). On 7 February, Rodríguez resigned from the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and joined the ranks of the MSV, adhering to statutes prohibiting dual membership in political organizations within the country.

Minister of Economy and Finance

Since 10 September 2020, Rodríguez has served as the Minister of Popular Power for Economy and Finance of Venezuela, having been appointed to this position by President Nicolás Maduro. In July 2021, Rodríguez participated in the Annual Assembly of Fedecámaras, marking the first instance in two decades that a high-ranking official from the national executive attended this event, which convenes leaders from the country's main corporations. Rodríguez highlighted the significance of private sector engagement in unlocking Venezuela's productive capacity but urged the business community in attendance to refrain from political involvement. The stance and demeanor of the businessmen during the event drew significant critique from opposition politicians and leaders of civil society, and according to ''

Sanctions

Rodríguez has been sanctioned by several countries and is banned from entering neighboring Colombia. The Colombian government maintains a list of people banned from entering Colombia or subject to expulsion; as of January 2019, the list had 200 people with a "close relationship and support for the Nicolás Maduro regime".

Delcygate

In January 2020, a controversy emerged in Spain surrounding Rodríguez's presence at Barajas Airport in Spain, where she was purported to have met with José Luis Ábalos. This incident sparked significant attention because, since November 2017, Rodríguez has been prohibited from entering the territory of the European Union. Despite the allegations, José Luis Ábalos denied having met with Rodríguez. The incident took place on 20 January, when the aircraft bearing the registration TC-AKE and flying the Turkish flag arrived at the terminal. Upon recognizing Rodríguez among the passengers, Spanish authorities decided to prevent her entry into the country. Accompanying Rodríguez on the flight were Kenny Antonio Díaz, Alejandra Carolina Bastidas, Yussef Abou Nassif Smaili (her partner), Jorge Andrés Giménez (the current president of the

The scandal originated from a covert visit by Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez to Spain, during which she allegedly facilitated the fraudulent sale of 104 bars of Venezuelan gold to Spanish businessmen for $68.5 million. This transaction was purportedly conducted through the Spanish Ministry of Transport, with the involvement of then-Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos, who is currently under investigation.

. The Guardia Civil’s Central Operative Unit (UCO) uncovered communications on Spanish businessman Víctor de Aldama's mobile phone that directly linked him to Rodríguez, indicating discussions about the purchase of Venezuelan gold. A contract dated 27 December 2019 outlined the delivery of the gold between 27 December 2019 and 6 January 2020, shortly before Rodríguez's secret trip to Madrid, which was officially described by La Moncloa as a "technical stopover." According to the website Diariodecuba, this connection underscored the alleged lack of commitment by the Spanish government to support a democratic transition in Venezuela. A 2020 U.S. government official said Spain was a significant barrier within the European Union in confronting the Venezuelan government. The scandal also involved a strategic omission of the gold transaction details in the official invitation sent by Ábalos to Rodríguez, which instead focused on humanitarian aid and support for Spanish businesses in Venezuela. In response, the opposition Partido Popular accused Sánchez of deceit regarding the true purpose of Rodríguez's visit and declared intentions to launch a comprehensive political, judicial, and international campaign to uncover the truth behind Delcygate.

Her brother Jorge Jesús Rodríguez served as Mayor of Caracas, as well as vice president. Rodriguez was the romantic partner of the actor Fernando Carrillo until 2007.
