Arrest warrants were issued Wednesday for the presidential campaign manager of Venezuelan opposition politician Maria Corina Machado, as well as 8 other staffers.
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela’s top prosecutor announced arrest warrants Wednesday for the presidential campaign manager of opposition powerhouse Maria Corina Machado and eight other staffers, accusing them in a violent anti-government conspiracy.
Two of the staffers, including political coordinator Dignora Hernández, already were arrested Wednesday, Saab said, but Meda had not yet been detained.A person familiar with Hernández identified her as the woman seen in a video circulating on social media in Venezuela in which she screams 'Help! Help, please! No!' while at least three uniformed officers try to wrestle her into the back of an SUV. The person asked not to be identified for fear of retribution.
The latest round of arrest warrants, Machado said on the platform X, were 'cowardly actions' aimed a closing Venezuela's path to democracy. 'Venezuelans, I ask you for strength and courage in these difficult times. Today, more than ever, we need to be united and firm to continue moving toward our goals.'The election is scheduled for July 28. The candidate registration period runs from March 21-25.
