Caracas, Dec. 13^th . ABN.
The Venezuelan Chancellor Nicolas Maduro denounced that the arrest of three Venezuelans in Miami, allegedly linked to the case of Guido Antonini Wilson, who was charged of trying to introduce into Argentina a briefcase with 800 thousand dollars in cash, is part of a plan of the US Government to damage the image of the new South American leadership.
According to international agencies of news, the Venezuelans Carlos Kauffman, Moises Maionica and Franklin Durna, joined to the Uruguayan Rodolfo Edgardo Wanseele Paciello, were taken this Wednesday to a federal court in Miami, charged of conspiring with Antonini Wilson.
“The press communique of the US Department of Justice and the information coming from Miami – said Chancellor Maduro – clarifies the influence of the United States government to maintain this campaign which, since the month of August, intended to tarnish the relations of our governments in South America.”
He indicated that “today we have no doubt” and he added that “the hand behind the campaign regarding the famous briefcase has come out, a case we denounced in that moment as a political and media ambush; and it matched with the President Chávez's visit to Buenos Aires for the signing of the Energy Security Accord, which they intended to hush it up as relevant new for our people with this made scandal.”
The Venezuelan Chancellor said that with the announcement of these arrests, “the US government's mask has slipped, because they use mechanisms of the judicial body to try to take up again an issue of political and media campaign, in this case and at this moment, in order to tarnish the advance of the South American progressive trends, which will be impossible.”
He referred to the establishment of the Bank of the South on behalf of seven presidents of the region, who for that reason met last Sunday in Buenos Aires and to the expressions of deep brotherhood and strong relations among all these governments, specifically on the eve of the Argentinian democratic party as it meant the inauguration of president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
Minister Maduro insisted on that, as soon as this successful meeting of presidents in Argentina had finished, are announced the arrests practiced in Miami, which – he affirmed – constitute actions taken in the US government.
He indicated that the objective is to avoid to keep talking about the democratic spirit and vocation showed by president Chávez, when he recognized the results of the recent constitutional referendum, despite the short difference favoring the opposition.
“It is a delicate matter that the government of the United States is taking the way of a judicial war to present as truthful its political, psychological and media war against the revolutionary and bolivarian government of Venezuela, and against the progressive governments of the continent. It is very delicate that they have taken, desperately, this step of judicial war, says Maduro.”
