“From a highly reliable Colombian intelligence source (we learned) that they were preparing an attack to assassinate me on election day,” said the Venezuelan president at a press conference in Caracas.

He assured that these information, which were “confirming”, suggest that the plan was woven from the headquarters of the Colombian Executive.

“From the House of Nariño, Iván Duque participated to try to assassinate me on the day of the elections,” he continued.

The Colombian government explained that it is not possible to recognize the legitimacy of the day without the participation of all political forces, “In particular of the democratic opposition persecuted by the regime”, and in which there was no “objective and reliable electoral observation”.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs added at the time that the elections held on December 6 are “fraudulent” and they are “Promoted by the illegitimate regime of Nicolás Maduro without the guarantees of impartiality, freedom, equal opportunities, justice and transparency of the democratic system ”.
