Almost a month after the gendarme’s kidnapping Nahuel Gallo in Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro spoke for the first time about the case, accused the Argentine of being part of a criminal plan and assured, without concrete evidence, that he entered the country to attack the life of Delcy Rodríguez, vice president of the regime.
In television statements, the president stated: “Some screamed, like the Argentines, but I can say it today: we were waiting for those people. Thank God, we always have to thank him, we have very good intelligence; They came from southern America with specific plans to try attempt on the life of Vice President Delcy Rodríguez”.
He even stated that “The Argentine Government is involved in violent plans to attack the peace of Venezuela.”
Although the gendarme’s family explained that he had entered to visit his son and his girlfriend, a Venezuelan national, Maduro denied this version and maintained: “It is a lie that he has a girlfriend here, that man has his wife in Argentina”.
Previously, Maduro’s right-hand man, Minister of the Interior and Justice Diosdado Cabello, He had accused the gendarme of entering Venezuela on a spy mission.
However, so far none of the regime’s accusations have been accompanied by any concrete element that supports the theory.
In the last week of 2024, the Venezuelan government released images of Gallo walking in an open space at his place of detention. This was the first proof of life that was known after he was forcibly detained on the border with Colombia on December 8.
