VENEZUELA: Maduro’s assassination claim rings alarm bells
Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro has on several occasions justified crackdowns on the political opposition and civil society by claiming that the authorities were responding to a plot to assassinate him. His most recent claim on 9 June that his enemies have deployed “a group of assassins” to kill him, which was not backed up with any evidence, will therefore have set alarm bells ringing in the opposition. Meanwhile, with the 28 July presidential election fast approaching, the opposition has been irked by Maduro’s demand that it sign a pledge to respect the election’s results, arguing that it is Maduro who is poised to try and rig the vote.
