In 2019, it was learned that many opposition deputies carried out measures in Colombia and European countries to defend Alex Saab and his associates – despite the fact that the National Assembly’s Comptroller Committee has been referring to Barranquéro for a long time for suspicious deals with the regime Nicolas Maduro– When the information became known, it was learned that they were members of the Primero Justicia (PJ) and Voluntad Popular (VP) parties, and they were immediately expelled from these two organizations.
For the damage Alex Saab has done to his financial network, under the direction of Nicolas Maduro, he has done to Venezuela, he has urged us to act with all speed and force and we have done so
Juan Pablo Guanipa, a member of the National Leadership of the Justice and Development Party, confirmed that parliamentarians Luis Parra, Jose Brito and Conrado Perez They were relieved of their duties after being linked to some letters of “good conduct” for Saab and one of its companies. “These deputies had already been chosen by the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro. They were the same ones who in January 2019 tried to stage a parliamentary coup by joining the United Socialist Party of Venezuela faction to elect the new leadership of the National Party. The Holocaust.”
Guanipa, who is also deputy speaker of the parliament headed by Juan Guaido, told EL TIEMPO that Parra, Brito and Perez, along with leaders of other parties, received money from Madurosmo and “are known today as Scorpions”.
The MP insists that the party should be separated from the actions of the aforementioned parliamentarians because PJ acted “quickly” to expel them after learning that they were linked to Chavismo.
“Given the damage Alex Saab has done to his financial network, under the direction of Nicolás Maduro, which he has done in Venezuela, he has urged us to act with all speed and force and we have done so,” Guanipa said.
