***President Nicolás Maduro reiterated that right-wing extremist sectors want to bring alleged Colombian paramilitary groups to Venezuela with the aim of sabotaging the presidential election on July 28.***
In response, General Luis Emilio Cardozo, commander of the Colombian Army, denied that a plan of this magnitude was being implemented in the New Granadan country.
“I have no information on this matter, nor has intelligence informed me that there is a group carrying out this type of action,” he said at a press conference.
The candidate for reelection for the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and for the Great Patriotic Pole (GPP), stated yesterday from the state of Táchira during a meeting with the people of Táchira that “we cannot allow peace to be taken away from us, under any circumstances.”
Maduro made this statement in reference to the recent complaint by a Colombian paramilitary group in which they claim that they were contacted by the Venezuelan far right to bring in around a thousand men and generate violence in the border states.
Along the same lines, the official candidate warned that “we cannot allow them to bring transnational crime or paramilitaries to Venezuela,” he stressed.
