Un coordinador de campaña del candidato venezolano Henrique Capriles fue secuestrado y luego asesinado de múltiples disparos en el estado de Táchira, informó el diario El Universal.
Juan Aranda (52) era coordinador del comando Simón Bolivar y fue raptado en su domicilio por dos sujetos que se hicieron pasar por policías, denunció la familia de la víctima.
Pasadas las 11 de la noche del lunes lo fueron a buscar a su vivienda una pareja de motorizados y se lo llevaron. Horas más tarde apareció muerto de múltiples disparos en el sector Palotal, relataron sus familiares.
Según el diario en su versión digital, Aranda había participado ese día en una caminata a favor de Capriles. En el recorrido se encontraron con seguidores del candidato oficialista Nicolás Maduro, quienes también hacían campaña.

(62,265 posts)Time to go into hiding when chavista thugs start to execute you wholesale.
I suggested if Capriles was arrested he'd be killed.

Cicpc (Scientific, penal and criminal investigations bureau) denies Juan Arand, murdered in Ureña, belongs to any political party.

"The family of the victim murdered in Ureña, state of Táchira, said that the victim did not belong to the coordination of any presidential campaign."
The reason for his murder doesn't seem to be connected to politics. They are talking about revenge or even soccer "canchas"...

(160,448 posts)if it means his murder could be used politically!
They are sad, odd people, aren't they?
Thank you!

(62,265 posts)There's little difference between handing out campaign stuff and being politically active in that campaign. When it's what gets you killed.
The parents simply clarified that their son wasn't politically active in the campaign, they didn't dispute that he was helping them that day.
But your glee in the misrepresention of the events just underscores the morbidity of it all.
Judi Lynn
(160,448 posts)so many innocent protesting Venezuelans, even sending soldiers to storm into the barrio to slaughter even more of them, calling out his tanks to use against these people.
I can see why you express so much horror regarding "morbidity." Your side specializes in it.

(62,265 posts)I think the entire state of Venezuela's horrific crime is nothing to be gleeful about, period.
It bugs me every time people who don't have to live in fear like they do pretending to know them and labeling them fascists.
I have no support for Perez.
I've never seen you denounce the chavista paramilitary groups in Venezuela.

I have no reason to disbelieve Solano's account.
I also have no reason to disbelieve his family.
