Venezuela’s Minister of the Interior, Miguel Rodríguez Torres, has made up one of the tallest and most extravagant tales of recent times. Without elaborating much, he put together a handful of the most heterogeneous citizens allegedly planning a conspiracy against the Venezuelan government: the former president of a neighboring country and paramilitaries of the same nationality, political leaders, mayors from the opposition democratically elected by the people, student leaders, journalists, human rights defenders, diplomats and foreign secret services, business owners from the private sector, foreign terrorists, among many others

Venezuela’s Minister of the Interior, Miguel Rodríguez Torres, has made up one of the tallest and most extravagant tales of recent times. Without elaborating much, he put together a handful of the most heterogeneous citizens allegedly planning a conspiracy against the Venezuelan government: the former president of a neighboring country (even though his current government had demanded some respect for his person) and paramilitaries of the same nationality, political leaders, mayors from the opposition democratically elected by the people, student leaders, journalists, human rights defenders, diplomats and foreign secret services, business owners from the private sector, foreign terrorists, among many others.
Most of them have no connection between each other. But all of them, obviously, are at the service of the evil Empire (aka the U.S.) that craves for our oil because it has high energy necessities, just now in a time that is about to stop being energy-dependent from other countries and that, on the other hand, is willing to prevent the ideas of the Bolivarian Revolution from spreading around the world, as if these had not become, after seen their colossal failure, something no one should ever follow suit.
The thing about blaming it on the U.S. also has its complications, because President Nicolás Maduro seems too eager to forge new ties – he even appointed a new Ambassador already – and this despite all the recent threats against the country by the gringos.
This conspiracy against the Government dates back to 2004, which allows us to make the most arbitrary and sweeping assumptions. Suffice it to say that allegations against Delsa Solórzano, leader of social-democratic party Un Nuevo Tiempo, are based on a public report showing there was repression against peaceful demonstrators and, well, Rodríguez Torres has always considered all of them terrorists or something similar.
Some have decided, among them people from the press and even some of those indicted, not to pay attention to that. Other “suspects” have referred to Rodríguez Torres as being everything from a serial killer to paranoid, even someone as clumsy as CONTROL agent Maxwell Smart or a likely candidate for the international criminal tribunals.
Each person has their own style, but we believe that this is about, after all, the most political minister from Maduro’s cabinet. And at least the president should do something about the rantings of his subordinate, in any case to clarify whether he has got some sort of mental problem for real. And, on the other hand, the MUD opposition party should not remain silent either.
Rodríguez Torres, who also happens to be an active General of the Venezuelan Army, has said he respects the ongoing peace talks with the opposition, but that seems not enough for him. Many of those indicted, all randomly and without any evidence, belong to the MUD such as Leopoldo López, who was made the mastermind of the conspiracy, or the Mayor of the Metropolitan Area of Caracas, Antonio Ledezma, among others, or are people who deserve some respect on the part of Rodríguez Torres for their remarkable work in the defense of public institutions and rights of citizens.
But, above all, because it is assumed that a peace dialogue must be based on truth (there is already a commission to serve this purpose) and not on the quirky imagination of Rodríguez Torres.
And should that version of a conspiracy that would replace the harsh crisis we are going through as the reason for legitimate protests by citizens, beyond any excesses that are inherent to angry social forces, be accepted, probably most, if not all, efforts to achieve peace will be lost. Not to mention the serious consequences the MUD may suffer over all this. It is not insignificant what is at stake here.
