Inacio Da Costa, on the night of Friday, July 19, made a thread in his X account where he claims to have been the victim of an alleged assault by the campaign team of candidate Edmundo González Urrutia and by Anthony Vega, who is accused of being a member of Vente Venezuela.
He explained that he was at his girlfriend’s graduation at UCV and, when he went to the parking lot, he was accosted by Vega, who smashed a bottle over his head. Then, five more people and a woman approached. While he was trying to take care of his girlfriend, Da Costa said that he was insulted by these individuals with epithets such as “collaborationist, chavista and divisive.”

One student was reportedly injured while trying to calm things down.
Then, “many students interceded in our defense and an unidentified individual took out a firearm from a burgundy Chevrolet Spark model car and pointed it at several students while the gang members ran to the car to flee due to the pressure,” he wrote on his social networks.
Subsequently, Tarek William Saab commissioned the 9th Prosecutor’s Office to investigate the subjects identified as Anthony Vega, Jhon Álvarez, Erick Rosa and Eleyn Echarry, who allegedly attacked Deputy Da Costa with a bottle, causing injuries to various parts of his body.
