Nicolás Maduro Guerra, deputy to the National Assembly and son of Nicolás Maduro, said that he received a message from Maduro and Flores and affirmed that both “are firm and strong” and that they are also “clear about the role of struggle that they have to play.”
Nicolás Maduro Guerra, deputy to the National Assembly and son of Nicolás Maduro, updated the number of deaths and injuries after the United States attacks on January 3, which captured his father and Cilia Flores, and said that “there were more than 108 deaths and more than 150 people injured, civilians and soldiers.”
He assured that among those affected there are people “who were not interested in politics, but who were affected anyway” and emphasized that the bullets from the US forces “did not distinguish between Chavistas, opponents or neither.”
The Minister of the Interior, Justice and Peace, Diosdado Cabello, stated that they have not yet been able to specify the number of deaths after the US bombings, because “the explosions were so strong” that there are people whose whereabouts are unknown. He indicated that some bodies were fragmented and that DNA studies are being carried out on human remains for identification.
Maduro Guerra also indicated that last Monday, January 12, he received a message from Maduro and Flores and stated that both “are firm and strong” and that they are also “clear about the fighting role they have to play.”
According to Maduro’s son, the politicians detained in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, in New York, are calm and with “faith placed in God and the people of Venezuela.”
Nicolás Maduro Guerra, during a mobilization of drivers in Caracas, who demanded the release of his father and wife this Tuesday, January 13, called on the drivers of the world: from Latin America, Central America, Brazil, Argentina and the United States, from Europe, Spain, France and Asia “to keep the excesses at bay,” which, he says, “broke in Venezuela on January 3.”
He asked that they go out “to the streets to demand our dignity and our sovereignty” and Venezuelans stay united and “let nothing divide us.” He assured that “they are going to try to sow tares to confuse the people,” but insisted that when that happens, there must be “political and ideological clarity and seek truthful sources of information to maintain peace.”
*Journalism in Venezuela is carried out in a hostile environment for the press with dozens of legal instruments in place to punish the word, especially the laws “against hate”, “against fascism” and “against the blockade.” This content was written taking into consideration the threats and limits that, consequently, have been imposed on the dissemination of information from within the country.
