Nicolás Maduro has broken his public silence nearly six months after being removed from Venezuela and taken to New York by U.S. authorities, using Father's Day to publish a lengthy message describing what he called the "five dimensions" of being a father.

The message, posted on Maduro's official Instagram account, marks one of the most significant public communications attributed to the former Venezuelan leader since he was captured during a U.S. operation in Caracas on Jan. 3 and transported to New York to face criminal charges.
