One of the alleged occupants of the “Narcolacha” was identified as Reybis José Gómez Oliveros, 25 years old and resident of San Juan de Unare. Relatives denies that another man, whose photo circulated in the media, has died in that fact
The videos in social networks about San Juan de Unare have not stopped. Condolences to the relatives of the deceased and defense to the fishing tradition of the town, located in the Peninsula of Paria (Arismendi municipality, Sucre state), are combined with materials on the alleged identities of any of those involved in the “narcolanche” that the United States sank in the Caribbean waters in early September.

Change narrative of “narcolanche”
Venezuelan authorities have gradually changed the narrative about the situation. The first to refer to the situation was the Minister of Communication, Freddy Ñáñez, who said that the video released by the administration of Donald Trump on September 2 was created with artificial intelligence.
The Attorney General of the Republic, Tarek William Saab, said it was a “false flag operation” last Friday. This Monday, both Interior Minister, Diosdado Cabello, and Nicolás Maduro referred to the facts.

In addition, Cabello said that “every time people review what happened there it is shown that what there was was a massacre against citizens. What were they committing a crime? That is why the laws are, but that does not give him the right to kill anyone ».
