Experts advise the government against coups and magnicidio

Several “experts” met yesterday the Political High Command of the Revolution to, according to the Agencia Venezolana de Noticias, talk about “the evidence of a recent plan of magnicidio [assassination of Maduro], and continued coup d’état that involves leaders of the right, among them Diego Arria, Maria Machado, and Henrique Salas Romer.”

After the meeting, Óscar Shemel, president of the pro-government polling agency Hinterlaces, said that “the evidence of a magnicidio plan, immersed in a much broader plan of destabilization and neurotization of society, are convincing [contundente].”

Constitutional lawyer Hermann Escarra claimed that there is “evidence of electronic character [e-mails] that prove that there are sectors that are interested in advancing violence, (…) even in attempting against the integrity of the Chief of State.”
