Our aggressor does not have a personal name, it is US imperialism”, he said.
Criminalize Venezuela: the objective
In the Lawfare forum against Venezuela, Three years after the kidnapping of Venezuelan diplomat Alex Saab, different national and international personalities participated in defense of the diplomat.
Such is the case of the Argentine criminal lawyer, Eugenio Saffaroni, who pointed out that the Lawfare against the diplomat is one more chapter in a series of hybrid war attacks that Latin America has been suffering for a long time.
“Lawfare is the criminalization of people of political relevance, which in other times was done with persecution through judges and military dictatorships. Now the world has changed and colonialism, which is a productive capitalism that dominates the world productive apparatus”, he said.
He stated that an example of criminalization has been seen with Rafael Correa, in Ecuador; and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in Brazil.
