The Minister of foreign Affairs of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza confirmed rumors that illegally proclaimed himself President of the country Juan Guido hiding in the French Embassy, and demanded to give him justice in an interview with radio Union.

According to the Minister, Guido is a direct participant in the attempt of sea invasion to assassinate President Nicolas Maduro, so he “owes Venezuelan justice and the people of Venezuela”. The initiator of the transaction, the foreign Minister called Leopoldo Lopez, who took refuge at the Embassy of Spain and, according to the head of the foreign Ministry, continues to participate in a conspiracy against the current government. Arreaza expressed the hope that the governments of Spain and France “will act properly, respecting the laws of Venezuela”.

A few days ago, Maduro has repeatedly referred to Guido as a “fugitive from justice” that sparked rumors of his possible flight, and trying to obtain asylum in a third country.

May 3, Venezuelan authorities have reported the failure of the attempted invasion of militant groups that used speed boats and entered the country from Colombia. Maduro said that among the 13 arrested participants of the attempted invasion of Venezuela has two U.S. citizen. In confirmation he showed a U.S. passport and other identification documents belonging to 41-year-old Ira berry and 34-year-old Luke Denman, who, he said, are in custody and worked with Jordan Hudro – American war veteran, who heads a Florida based security company Silvercorp USA. Denman said in the interrogation that together with his accomplices was to take control of the airport and deliver back Maduro, and then to take him back to the United States.

According to Nicolas Maduro, the United States decided to use the time of a pandemic, terrorist attacks to divert public attention from the “humanitarian tragedy” in the country caused by a coronavirus. The US state Department has called the statements of the authorities of Venezuela disinformation, and the President of the United States Donald trump also said that his country has nothing to do with the incident. In the Colombian foreign Ministry suggested that the Bogota accuses Caracas, to divert attention from the internal problems of Venezuela, and urged the international community to reject the accusations of this kind. Subsequently, the Venezuelan leader said that in Colombia are preparing a new invasion of the mercenaries in the Bolivarian Republic, and their preparation is the Colombian leader Ivan Duque.

The Washington Post published a 42-page document, from which it follows that the members of the Venezuelan opposition in October signed a deal worth nearly $213 million with the American company Silvercorp USA for their invasion of the country and overthrow President Nicolas Maduro. Signatures of opposition leader Juan Guido in document no, but it has been on the six-page agreement for shared services between the opposition and Silvercorp, also published by the Washington Post. This is contrary to the words of the leader of the opposition, which denies any connection with Silvercorp or involvement in the attempt of forced displacement Maduro.
