Maduro blatantly lied about specific CDI attacks

Maduro claimed two CDIs were being attacked.

Lamentablemente la derecha atacó hoy los CDI de La Vaquera en Guarenas y Palo Verde en Caracas. Ordené buscar y capturar a los responsables


Social media, in the way that it works best, went out and checked.

I'm not ruling out attacks in other centers, though social media is going around checking them all, but it's clear that, as I suspected, Maduro and others were trying to incite violence. If there was nothing happening and opposition / chavistas went down there, and a confrontation happened, then something would happen! That's why Capriles urged against confrontation while Maduro lied about attacks.
