The sectoral vice president for Communication, Tourism and Culture, Jorge Rodríguez, denounced on Monday that the governments of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil are behind the assault plan on the Mariano Montilla 513rd border battalion of jungle infantry, south of the national territory.
At a press conference offered from Miraflores Palace in Caracas, Rodríguez explained that these governments lent their territories to conduct meetings, trainings and to plan all criminal actiona:
«We have found the participation of the governments of Peru and Brazil in the events of Sunday morning, the governments of Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Ecuador have much to say and explain», he said.
He explained that the action was coordinated with a group of Venezuelan military personnel who defected on February 23 and who were receiving paramilitary training in Cúcuta and Cali, Colombia, with the participation and support of the deputies of the Volundad Popular ultra-right wing party, Gaby Arellano and José Manuel Olivares
Subsequently, they traveled to Ecuador and Peru where they held meetings with Venezuelan activist Vilca Fernández and held meetings to coordinate all the logistical readiness of the criminal action, he revealed.
Rodríguez said that they later moved by land to Brazil, where in the town of Paracaima, bordering Venezuela, they stayed for 15 days to receive instructions and plan the latest details of the attack on the military units, a stay that was funded by Antonio Fernádez Soto, aka «Toñito».
“These criminals were trained in fully identified paramilitary camps in Colombia and received the devious collaboration of the government of Jair Bolsonaro. That is what the governments of Colombia, Peru and Brazil use deserters for. They use them to sow violence, destruction and death, and then they discard them», said the sectoral vice president and also minister for Information and Communication.
