President Maduro: In 2019, more than 50 espionage actions were neutralized

More than 50 espionage and information theft actions were neutralized by the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) in 2019, the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, said Tuesday. In his Annual Message to the Nation – carried out at the facilities of the National Constituent Assembly -, the Venezuelan head of state emphasized that since last December 15 attempts were made to “prepare adventures for assaults on military barracks” of the border states of the country.

«We managed to infiltrate an intelligence work and forcefully deactivate each plan. Designed and directed from Washington. They wanted to cover our Christmas with blood, we didn’t allow it and we had Christmas in peace, as a family”, denounced the National President in joint radio and television broadcast.

In this regard, he recalled the events recorded on December 22, when military deserters stormed the 513 Infantry Border Battalion, located in the Gran Sabana, Bolívar state.

«On December 22, in the early morning hours, a group of terrorists, traitors, sponsored, financed and protected by the government of Brazil and Colombia, by Jair Bolsonaro and Iván Duque, raided a barracks in the state of Bolivar, robbed rifles, rocket launchers, strategic missiles. In a murderous feat, they killed a young soldier of our Bolivarian National Armed Forces”, said the Venezuelan president.

“The terrorists claimed that soldier’s life viciously, our FANB responded promptly and managed to capture most of the terrorist plotters and recover 95% of the stolen weapons, the rest was taken to Brazil, to Bolsonaro”, he added.

In this regard, he highlighted the work carried out by the FANB in ​​defense of the sovereignty of the nation, in the face of the constant threats of the imperial axes, which seek to undermine the stability and peace of the Republic.

«They could not and will not be able to beat our dignity, our attachment to life. Whoever attempts against the Republic will receive the punishment established by the Constitution”, he said.

The head of state reiterated his complaint against the Colombian government, and asserted that the attacks come from the Central Intelligence of the New Granada Army.
