The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, denounced on Monday that the Venezuelan opposition received a total of 346 million dollars from the government of USA to finance the primary elections of the right ahead of the presidential elections.
“The alleged Dinorah Figuerapolitical leader of Primero Justicia received 346 million dollars from a bank account that belongs to the people to finance the right-wing primaries and the presidential candidacies,” denounced the head of state during the broadcast of his program Con Maduro +.
Figuera, who is in exile in Spain, was appointed by the TSJ in exile as “interim president” of Venezuela.
The national president criticized that the members of the Primero Justicia party “pretend to be a political group within the country.”
