  • Venezuela: Juan Guaidó swears as interim president of Venezuela after entering Parliament

What is promised is debt. The United States today sanctioned deputy Luis Parra, the false president of the Venezuelan Parliament imposed by Nicolás Maduro, and several deputies around him accused of corruption. "They tried to block the democratic process in Venezuela" and the re-election of the opposition leader, Juan Guaidó , accused US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

The sanctions also fell on the "irrita" directive of the Parliament: Franklyn Duarte, first vice president, and José Gregorio Noriega, second vice president. They also join the blacklist, which already includes the main leaders of Chavismo and the military that hold them in power, the alleged secretary Negal Morales and the deputies José Brito, Conrado Pérez and Adolfo Superlano, accused along with Parra de Lobbying in favor of Carlos Lizcano, ally of Colombian businessman Alex Saab, sanctioned for money laundering in the US . Saab is the head of Nicolás Maduro, according to investigations by rebel prosecutor Luisa Ortega, exiled today in Bogotá.

With these sanctions, the assets and accounts that Parra and company may have in the United States are automatically blocked and any American person is prohibited from doing business with them. "Traitor" deputies cannot visit that country either. The sanctions will only be removed, according to Mnuchin, if the punished are placed on the side of the people of Venezuela and Guaidó.

Parra and his six accomplices, all expelled from their parties, are already part of the darkest history of the revolution despite being newcomers to public opinion. Last Saturday, the entire group sought to obtain the legitimacy of the Episcopal Conference, unexpectedly presenting itself at its Caracas headquarters. They were left with the desire: the bishops rejected the entourage of the "traitors" .

"In life you can always fall lower, worse if ambition dominates us. Luis Parra, accompanied by his colleagues and armed forces of the State, abruptly pretended to receive the bishops," denounced Monsignor Victor Hugo Basabe, Bishop of San Felipe. " As they arrived, they left. We are clear, gentleman, " Basabe said.

Only Russia and Cuba have so far recognized the fraudulent board of directors, now sanctioned, who has not hesitated to dismiss without contemplation a part of the AN officials . And that does not even have the necessary seal to legalize those documents.

Questioned again and again by the minutes of January 5, in which according to Chavismo Parra was elected despite not having a quorum and not even having a vote , the deputy expelled now assures that it was stolen.

Green briefcases

Although they already have control of the Legislative Palace thanks to the military and their government escorts, the operation of the green briefcases has not ceased . Everything goes to get new adherents to the revolutionary cause, from harassing families to threatening the sick.

This has happened to Deputy Addy Valero, of Democratic Action, who has been fighting cancer for months. One of the parra group deputies tried to bribe her with money and medical offers, Guaido himself confirmed.

Both Parra and his accomplices knew that the sanctions were imminent, but in their inner circle they had already let them know that they were not affected. From his fraudulent swearing in, megaphone in hand, Parra has an army of escorts, 15 outside the squat office in the Legislative Palace , and moves through Caracas with the latest 4x4 model, a Toyota Fortuner, despite the supposed "blockade "that Venezuela suffers according to the revolution.
