The tyrant Maduro charges against the former head of Sebin after withdrawing his support

The president has denounced that Figuera was “captured” by the CIA and has assured that he would be dismissed on April 30, which is why he would have ordered the “coup”, as has been collected by the Venezuelan state news agency , AVN. “After the investigations we have succeeded in verifying that General Manuel Ricardo Cristopher had been captured by the CIA for more than a year, this traitor will sooner or later come to the Venezuelan justice!” In this sense, he stressed that he was informed by the Minister of Defense, Vladimir Padrino, and the president of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), Maikel Moreno, who warned him of Figuera’s “strange behavior”, according to the Globovisión television network. According to the account provided by the United States National Security Advisor, John Bolton, Moreno, Padrino, and the head of the Presidential Guard, Iván Rafael Hernández, they had agreed with the opposition that they would let Maduro fall but lay down. On the back of the interference by Russia and Cuba, Padrino appeared on April 30, the day of the military coup, to reiterate his loyalty to the Maduro government. Moreno, on the other hand, was silent until Wednesday, when he underlined his support for the Venezuelan president. Figuera said in a statement last week that he decided to withdraw his support for Maduro after discovering that “many people he trusted were negotiating behind his back.” “But they were not negotiating for the greater good of the country, they were doing it for their own petty interests,” he stressed.The political crisis in Venezuela worsened on January 10, when Maduro decided to start a second six-year term that neither the opposition nor much of the international community recognize because they consider that the presidential elections of May 20 were a fraud. In response, the president of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó, proclaimed himself interim president on January 23 with the aim of ending the “usurpation,” creating a transitional government, and holding “free elections.” On April 30, Guaidó announced the Start of ‘Operation Freedom’ to overthrow Maduro, ensuring that he had the support of “an important group” of the military. However, the military leadership ratified its loyalty to the Bolivarian leader, through the mouth of Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino, and Maduro declared the “coup skirmish” defeated, threatening those involved with legal action.
