In an article titled “The Hunt” (La Cacería) published yesterday, reporter José Vicente Rangel argued that “the right” is again considering
plans to assassinate President Maduro amid their fears that “Maduro will
consolidate his power after favorable results in the December 8 elections.”
Rangel believes that Maduro is being systematically
“hunted down” by the opposition. He emphasized: “The option is still on the
table. The plan is connected with the juncture of the municipal elections. Before
or after these elections they will use [the elections] for their magnicidio plans –I use the word even if
it exasperates them,- the attempt would be a commando style coup. This is
something that is looming in the criminal imagination of those that are willing
to do anything to drive away the fear that hounds them. (…) According to the information
I have been receiving, these plans exist and are being implemented. (…) For now
there is no other option than to wait, we have to be on the alert.”
Rangel has periodically accused the
Venezuelan opposition of plotting to assassinate Maduro, without showing evidence
to support his accusations. In the past he also repeatedly claimed that “the
right” was plotting to kill President Chávez.
