Nicaragua refuses entry to Venezuela's Right Wing Opposition. El Salvador network denounces them

May 22, 2013 5:05 pm
Expelled from Nicaragua to Henrique Salas Feo



The former governor of Carabobo, Henrique Fernando Salas, reported via his Twitter account @hfsalasromer, that he was prevented from visiting Nicaragua in his capacity as deputy chairman of the MUD, he was in company of Latin American and European deputies, and was also with the deputy to the National Assembly, Carlos Berrizbeitia, secretary general of Venezuela Project.

"we're being guarded by heavily armed (men) in Nicaragua ," warned the leader, who speculated in one of his comments, that Nicaragua's decision was perhaps due to "orders of (Nicholas) Maduro".

"The National Police requires us to leave the country. They haven't returned our passports yet. The Officials took us to the exit door. "In my capacity as Deputy President of the MUD, this is an unacceptable abuse and weak democracy". "Who gave the orders to prevent the entry of our MUD entourage into Nicaragua? They must not want us to talk about the Venezuelan elections ".

According to certain versions, the authorities said that "tourist visas" don't allow "political" activities and they made (them) get on a flight to El Salvador.

Salas Feo:The only explanation we were given is that this was on orders from above.

22 Mayo, 2013

The former governor of Carabobo state and President of MUD, Henrique Salas Feo, referred to what happened when he arrived in Nicaragua. He stressed that his retinue was going to different countries to "evaluate the progress of the march for democracy and the respect (care) for freedom".

This week, we chose to tour Nicaragua and El Salvador but when we arrived in Nicaragua at 8:15AM, we were asked for our passports".

...

After about 3 1/2 hours, we were surrounded by heavily armed soldiers and policemen and were told "You must leave the country".

"If we were told to leave, the only explanation is that this was on orders from above. They didn't mention either the government of Nicaragua or Venezuela", he said in telephonic statement from El Salvador.

He (Salas) then announced the tour wasn't going to be held up and that meetings to discuss the evolution of democracy on the Latin American continent would continue. Going to El Salvador “to continue defending democracy and freedom”, he specified.

Caracas, 23 May. AVN.- The Salvadoran network Solidarity with Venezuela, warned about the entry into San Salvador of right wing politicians from Venezuela who are part of an international campaign to discredit the government of Nicolas Maduro and Venezuelan institutions.

...

The Solidarity Network demanded in its message "respect for the sovereignty of (our Venezuelan) brothers and we reject any intent to interfere with their internal affairs, that the fascist Venezuelan opposition may be cooking up with elements of the Salvadoran right wing".

In the same vein, they exhorted the Salvadoran people to be on the alert for what these two politicians are up to and not to be surprised by their politics of hate that only seek to discredit the legitimate government of Venezuela".

...

Salas de Feo is actually a resident of the United States who is avoiding lawsuits and investigations in Venezuela for acts of corruption during his governorship for the embezzlement of more than 2 billion bolivars from state funds.

That's gotta be one of the largest hoaxes in the history of the planet. My God.

It's excellent El Salvador and Nicaragua saw right through these slimy scumbuckets, and sent them home with their butts in a sling.

You have to appreciate great gestures when you see them. This was a righteous decision.

Thanks, Catherina.

They were able to have their meetings *to discuss democracy* with the right wing in El Salvador. Gawd knows what they came up with.

Remember these guys? They set up quite a terror network in El Salvador. A couple have been jailed but their groups are still causing lots of trouble.

Roberto Dabuisson, Hugo Barrera, Francisco Chávez Abarca, Mario Acosta, Juklio Eduardo Villatoro Monteagudo, Rodrigo Ávila, Mauricio Eduardo Sandoval Avilés, Francisco Bertrand Galindo, Ramón Sanfeliú, Ernesto Muyshondt, Guillermo Cader Acuña, David Koch Arana, Inocente Orlando Montano, ...

I agree with you about appreciating Nicaragua throwing them out!
