Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez promised "a responsible increase" of the salary income effective May 1. She did not disclose the amount but explained it would be done in a way meant to avoid the inflationary spike that followed the last minimum wage increase.

Rodríguez’s address to the nation came a day before workers are expected to demonstrate in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, to demand a wage increase. She told that change will not happen overnight and asked them as well as employers across industries to work together and with her government “to begin a sustained recovery and maintain this path of growth.”
