Former allies report that they were persecuted by Nicolás Maduro: ‘they destroyed all the dreams we had together’

Former allies report that they were persecuted by Nicolás Maduro Former allies report that they were persecuted by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The statements are part of an unprecedented documentary that reviews the trajectory of the authoritarian leader, who recently became a target of Donald Trump. “He started to use this force as a political police. It was for him what the Gestapo was for Hitler”, says Manuel Figuera, director of the Intelligence Service (2018-2019). Another striking testimony is that of Rafael Ramírez, former Minister of Oil and key figure in the Hugo Chávez era. “He had me arrested because he thought I could take his place. I was forced into exile,” he said. Ramírez says he was accused of corruption without evidence and had his home invaded. “You ask how I feel? Outraged! Because they destroyed the country and all the dreams we had together.” Former attorney general Luisa Ortega also reports having been persecuted after criticizing abuses by the regime. “I had to escape on a motorcycle, disguised with a wig, because soldiers threatened me. More than 8 thousand Venezuelans were executed by the police and the Army”, he reported.
