Judicial pulse grows in Argentina due to a possible visit by Maduro; announce protests

The judicial pulse grows in Argentina before the possible visit of Nicolás Maduro by the summit of the CELACwith a request for an urgent investigation in the Justice for violation of human rights and announcements of protests against him, reported The nation.

According to the newspaper, a criminal lawyer expanded on a complaint filed last week in court against the leader of the Chavista government, and requested that be called to testify for violating human rights.

Last week, the Argentine Forum for Democracy in the Region (Fader), founded in 2020 by right-wing opposition legislators, criminally denounced Maduro, and also the heads of state of CubaMiguel Díaz-Cannel, and of NicaraguaDaniel Ortega, before the Argentine federal court.

The Justice has not yet processed the request, the newspaper explains.

A lawyer asked to expand the file with the complaint of two Venezuelan citizens who denounce having suffered torture by the Chavista regime, and requested that Maduro be investigated on January 24 upon arrival in the country, based on international treaties signed by Argentina.

Argentine President Alberto Fernández said in an interview with Folha de S. Paulo held last Thursday and published this Sunday that “Venezuela is part of Celac, and Maduro is more than invited. As far as I know, he will come.”

And he pointed out that Argentina’s position on Venezuela is that “Venezuelans resolve things among Venezuelans”, and to “stimulate the dialogues that are taking place in Mexico” through the International Contact Group, made up of European and Latin American countries. .

opposition rejection

The Argentine opposition rejected the eventual arrival of the three leaders in the country to participate in the summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) on Tuesday.

“If Nicolás Maduro comes to Argentina, he must be immediately arrested for having committed crimes against humanity. As happened with (former Chilean dictator Augusto) Pinochet in London in 1998,” Patricia Bullrich, a of the presidential candidates for the Together for Change Coalition (right) for the October elections of this year.

According to La Nación, protests against Maduro are expected on Monday in Buenos Aires, and also on Tuesday, in front of the hotel where the meeting of leaders will take place in the Argentine capital.

The block of deputies from the opposition Juntos por el Cambio, presented a project to declare the Venezuelan president “persona non grata.”

“We repudiate the presence of Maduro, Díaz-Canel and Daniel Ortega and/or representatives of those dictatorial regimes,” the Civic Coalition party said in a statement.

There is still no official confirmation on the arrival of the three leaders in Argentina.
