President Maduro denounces creation of new mercenary groups in Colombia

“They are creating new mercenary groups in Colombia. We have all the information, names, last names, their location, who is forming them, who is protecting them, and it all points to Ivan Duque, again,” denounced Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
The Venezuelan government disclosed this information when referring to the armed incursion on May 3 seeking to topple the legitimate Venezuelan Government, undermine the constitutional order and the territorial integrity of the Venezuelan state through a “criminal pact.” The operation had its genesis in the United States of America and was planned and launches from Colombian territory. According to the testimony of the arrested men, members of “Operation Gideon,” the training of these men who carried out the incursion took place in Colombian territory, specifically in Alta Guajira. It is a “criminal pact among hitmen that turn politics into a business of hitmen, mercenaries, millions of dollars, rifles, assassinations and kidnappings. It is the right-wing hitmen’s policy, colonized by Washington and seeking to surrender Venezuela’s sovereignty.” These “hitmen of Venezuela’s politics have suffered a political, morel, spiritual, military, legal defeat, and Venezuela has displayed its strength,” stressed the Venezuelan president.
