Trump puts price on Maduro’s head: $15 million
- The United States has accused the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and fourteen senior government officials of helping the new Colombian guerrilla FARC. He has offered a $15 million reward for his contribution to the arrest of the Venezuelan president for "drug trafficking". The prize consists of $5 million by the guerrilla leaders, Ivan Márquez and Jesús Santrich.
The attorney general of EE.UU. William Bar, has held the Venezuelan "illegitimate dictator" of cocaine entering the United States responsible and said that they do so "intentionally" to weaken the health of citizens. The US Government has insisted, for the umpteenth time, that Venezuela is a "bloody and corrupt regime."
He accuses Maduro and 14 of his rulers of "drug trafficking, drug trafficking, money laundering and corruption around the world." Bar has stated that drug trafficking does so in collaboration with the new FARC guerrillas in Colombia, “to fill the United States with cocaine and destroy American communities.
The FARC and Chavism, tied hand in hand?
They denounce that Venezuela is a stronghold of the FARC and that it has been so for 20 years. They have denounced that Venezuela is used as an entry point to the United States and that they are allowed to trade in cocaine.
Maduro also charges these crimes against the leader of the FARC in the peace processes in Havana, Iván Márquez, and the director of the Second Marquetalía Republic, Jesús Santrich. The latter, Santrich, was in jail about a year after the signing of the peace treaty of Havana, for alleged drug trafficking, according to the press. Several Colombian political and social organizations considered the judicial process a “scandalous assembly”.
ARGIA recently interviewed Santrich, who at the time of the interview had not yet denounced drug trafficking, but his words also serve for the current case: "There will never be, nor will there ever be any proof, because I have never participated in these things."
The Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has described the decisions taken by the United States as "a decisive announcement in the international fight against drug trafficking and terrorism". He added that for several years the Colombian authorities have stressed the need to hand over these two people who are under the illegitimate regime of Nicolás Maduro.”
New type of coup
Nicolas Maduro’s response has not taken long to come. He has defined Donald Trump as "miserable," and added that what the United States has done. In his view, it is an attack on the people and their democratic institutions.
He added that "the awarding of prizes such as racist cowboys at Far-West proves that the Washington elite is supremacist" and that in the State of Florida the obsession with winning votes has done the act. "You're a miserable, Donald Trump. He is not just a racist and supremacist cowboy, he is a person who guides international relations through extortion," concluded Maduro.
