The sectorial Vice-President for Politics, Citizen Security and Peace, Diosdado Cabello, presented this Wednesday in his program Con el Mazo Dando serious accusations regarding a plan to disregard the Venezuelan Constitution through the swearing-in of an opposition candidate as President abroad.
During his intervention, Cabello pointed out that former presidential candidate Enrique Márquez, together with lawyer Sergio Urdaneta, prepared a 21-page document entitled “Urgent proposal in the face of January 10, proposal of restricted circulation only to the addressees.”
The document proposes that Edmundo González, former defeated presidential candidate, be sworn in as president in a Venezuelan diplomatic seat outside the country, in order to form a “provisional government”. According to the text, this would be justified as an extension of Venezuelan sovereignty abroad, but Cabello denounced that it is an attempted coup d’état.
“They intend to bypass the Constitution, which in its article 231 establishes that the president must be sworn in before the National Assembly in Venezuela,” declared Cabello, recalling that Nicolás Maduro will be officially sworn in next January 10 after his reelection in 2024.
The document, which according to Cabello was found in Marquez’s computer, would be addressed to opposition figures such as Antonio Ledezma, Asdrubal Aguiar, and Humberto Calderon Berti, among others. He also linked Marquez to an FBI official recently captured in Venezuela, described as a “heavyweight” with more than 20 years operating in the country.
Together with the operation that led to the capture of this US agent, two Colombian mercenaries allegedly related to contractors coming from Ukraine were also arrested. Cabello affirmed that evidence of plans against the Venezuelan government were found in the devices seized from the detainees.
