translated from Spanish: Venezuela: Investigation opened to Guaidó over coup attempt

Hours after the allegations of a U.S. court against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the Attorney General of the Republic, Tarek Wiliam Saab, announced that he was opening an investigation against the leader of the National Assembly, John He’s a joke. The lawyer reported that it responds to the “confessed crime of attempted coup against President Maduro”. The truth is that the cause arises from the statements of the Army’s major (retired) general, Cliver Alcalá, who publicly stated that, “together with Guaidó, and American advisers, they intended to bathe Venezuela with blood.”

Alcalá, meanwhile, became today the first indicted by U.S. Attorney General William Barr, who announces that he will surrender and submit to American justice, so he asked the United States to remove him from the wanted list. For his part, Guaidó, recognized as interim president of the United States and some 50 countries, claimed today that the Us accusations of narcoterrorism confirm that the problem is “not political” but that “we are facing the Maduro cartel.” These accusations confirm what Venezuelans have long known and have denounced and confronted. Our problem is not just a political problem: we are facing a Cartel, the Maduro Cartel,” the opposition leader said.

In a statement, Guaidó stated that “for decades, our institutions and our territory have been kidnapped and controlled by characters similar to Pablo Escobar, Osama Bin Laden or Chapo Guzmán.” If the peoples of Colombia and Mexico suffered so much for these characters that they did not have one-tenth of the political or economic power that Maduro and his accomplices have had, imagine the damage we have been exposing and what we have faced,” he said.” That’s why I am confident that the charges brought against the members of the regime are well-founded and will help liberate the country from the criminal system that has kidnapped our people for so many years,” he said.
