The Secretary General of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, reiterated the complaint about the use of money from Colombian drug trafficking to finance Operation Gideon, which sought to invade our country and assassinate the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro.

In this regard, he drew attention to the accusations recently made by the American mercenary Jordan Goudreau, who confirmed how drug trafficking money was used to pay for the operation he would direct, in accordance with a contract he signed with the fugitive from Venezuelan justice, Juan Guaidó.

Also, during the usual red awning press conference, Cabello criticized that in Colombia this kind of thing “is normal”.

“In Colombia there is no justice. Narcoparamilitarism controls powers and police forces at a large level. This is not new, rather we can say that in recent years with President Petro a great effort has been made but it is impossible. The ramifications of narco-paramilitarism make it very difficult to combat them,” he said.

On the other hand, he reiterated the complaint about the use of USAID resources to finance coups and destabilization in the country.

“USAID was used by the United States government to finance coups in Venezuela through NGOs. But since the US is now going to investigate NGOs, now if they believe our complaint,” he emphasized.
