The ruler Nicolás Maduro Maduro stated that there are 2,229 people detained throughout the country, whom he called “terrorists.” He also pointed out that all the people involved in the demolition of statues of former President Hugo Chávez, of the Indian Coromoto in Guanare or other representations are detained.
President Nicolás Maduro said that all those arrested since July 29, when protests against the presidential election results broke out, will be transferred to the prisons of Tocorón, in the state of Aragua, and Tocuyito, in the state of Carabobo, on Saturday, August 9.
From the Miraflores Palace, after receiving a senior citizens marchMaduro said that there are 2,229 people detained throughout the country, whom he called “terrorists.” He reiterated that both prisons, evacuated last year as part of an operation to eliminate the pranato in those places, “are already ready for terrorists and criminals.”
“Justice! They attacked pedestrians, murdered people walking in a square, burned CDI, clinics, hospitals, universities,” the president accused.
The NGO Foro Penal has identified 1,102 people arrested since July 29, of whom 100 are teenagers and five belong to an indigenous ethnic group. The largest number of arrests have been recorded in the states of Carabobo, Distrito Capital, Anzoátegui, Miranda and Zulia.
Maduro also said that all those involved in the demolition of statues of former President Hugo Chavez, of the Indian Coromoto in Guanare and other representations are under arrest. He explained that this was an order given by opposition leader Maria Corina Machado a week before the elections.
He said the leaders were given $200 and ordered to find 15 or more other people. “Why did they do that against Chavez? Because he marked her when he told her ‘an eagle doesn’t hunt a fly.'”
He also referred to the summons issued by the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, and reiterated that he is willing to hand over “100% of the records that are in our possession, and I hope that all the candidates and all the parties do the same. Now the big question, with all the candidates and all the parties being summoned by court, which of the candidates will not attend? We will see.”
He also promised to “deepen” missions aimed at the elderly population. He said that they already have the materials ready to improve ophthalmological and dental care.
The president also insisted that his supporters gradually uninstall the private messaging application WhatsApp, which he said is a “center of espionage and is being used in this war against Venezuela by the power of the United States.”
He stressed that through this application, people who are part of communal structures have received death threats. He said that this is the “work” of supposed “centrals” controlled by “Colombian drug trafficking” with telephone numbers from that country, Peru, Chile, the United States and Venezuela. “We will reach out to all those who used Venezuelan telephones with law, justice and order.”
