Article:
The Argentine government has categorically rejected the accusations made by Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro against Nahuel Gallo, an Argentine gendarme who remains detained in Venezuela. In a joint statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Security, the government refuted Maduro’s claims that Gallo had arrived in Venezuela with the intention of assassinating Delcy Rodríguez, the vice president of the Venezuelan regime.
Gerardo Werthein and Patricia Bullrich, the ministers in charge of these areas, underscored that Gallo entered Venezuela legally, complying with all migratory protocols. They pointed out that he presented his documentation, notified his family’s residence, and fulfilled every required criterion before his trip. The ministers emphasized that there is no evidence to support the accusations against Gallo, deeming Maduro’s statements false, irresponsible, and an attempt to distract from the severe political, economic, and social crisis plaguing the Venezuelan regime.
The Argentine government has once again demanded the immediate and unconditional release of Nahuel Agustín Gallo, ensuring his physical and mental integrity and the full respect of his human rights, in accordance with international law and bilateral treaties between the two countries.
The recent visit of Edmundo González Urrutia, the Venezuelan opposition leader recognized as president elect by Argentine president Javier Milei, highlights the international concern over the situation in Venezuela. The Commission Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CIDH) has exposed the grave irregularities committed by Maduro’s regime, which uses the state apparatus to control the population and illegitimately maintain its grip on power.
The violation of human rights in Venezuela is a growing concern for the international community. The Argentine government has expressed its strongest condemnation of these atrocities and urges the global community to do the same. Argentina reaffirms its commitment to the defense of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law in the region and will continue to press charges against the Maduro regime at the International Criminal Court (CPI) and other relevant international organizations.
In recent hours, González Urrutia and María Corina Machado have denounced the escalating repression against them and their families. This morning, González Urrutia’s son-in-law, Rafael Tudares, was abducted by men in black, traveling in a gold-colored vehicle with the license plate AA54E2C. His whereabouts remain unknown.
