Chavismo once again acted against

María Corina Machado

's team after the crowd bath achieved by the opposition candidate on her trips to the interior of Venezuela.

Agents of the political police of the revolution arrested

Emil Brandt,

electoral coordinator in Barinas, cradle of the revolution, "one more violation of the already trampled Barbados Agreement, which shows that Maduro has chosen to continue the hard way, denounced the opposition leader.

"World alert! I denounce to Venezuelans and the world that the

Nicolás Maduro

regime has kidnapped our director of the Barinas Campaign Command just a few hours after I toured this state," the candidate cried.

The Chavista Prosecutor's Office accuses Brandt of

being part of the plan to carry out "terrorist actions"

in the alleged attempted assassination of the "people's president", the same conspiracy that served to justify the imprisonment of

Rocío San Miguel,

a relevant figure in Venezuelan civil society. .

San Miguel shares prison with three other María Corina campaign directors.

These are

Juan Freites, Luis Camacaro and Guillermo López,

leaders of Vente Venezuela, Machado's party, detained a month and a half ago with the same excuses.

One of the leaders of the teachers' union,

Víctor Venegas, also remains imprisoned.

Rebel Lieutenant

Franklin Ojeda

, welcomed as a political refugee in Chile, was included in this alleged plot, baptized as "White Bracelets. "

A commando of four paramilitaries kidnapped, executed and buried the soldier under cement in Santiago de Chile, a macabre crime that is being investigated by the Chilean authorities.

The family unhesitatingly points to the Bolivarian regime.

"We demand a

firm reaction from all national and international actors

that support a true presidential election in Venezuela," added Machado, who announced that despite the new onslaught "we will continue to travel throughout our country in the construction of more and more strength and citizen organization." to achieve electoral victory this year.

It is precisely this tour, massively supported in the municipalities visited, that Chavismo wants to avoid with the increase in repression and with the request to the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) for Machado to stop calling herself a candidate and to prohibit her travel.

"It is

a macabre move,

violating the entire legal system," reacted former presidential candidate Henrique Capriles.
