Caracas, February 8 (RHC)-- The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, reiterated this Sunday the denunciations of destabilizing plans supported by the governments of Colombia and Spain in complicity with sectors of Venezuela's right wing.

The Venezuelan leader said that the terrorist action that was intended to be carried out during an ordinary session of the National Assembly was planned by fugitive from justice -- Leopoldo López -- and financed by the administration of the Palacio de Nariño, in Colombia, and responds to the plans drawn up under the former U.S. leadership of Donald Trump.

Nicolas Maduro called on the authorities of both nations not to ignore the evidence provided as a result of the investigations after thwarting the attack against the Parliament.  He described as "false positive media" the photos published this Saturday by the Colombian media Semana in which several leaders of a FARC rebel group are seen armed while they were, supposedly, in Venezuela.

"In Colombia, they intend to explode false scandals, false media positives by the magazine Semana and the newspaper El Tiempo, at the service of the (presidential) Palace of Nariño, to cover up the reality of the uncovered plans of (Colombian President) Iván Duque to attack Venezuela," Maduro emphasized.

In view of this situation, he wondered if in Colombia "there are no institutions" to control "the terrorist manias, the hatred of Iván Duque against Venezuela."

For his part, the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, said that they will submit to the AN's Internal Policy Commission a request for investigation of the terrorist attack that was to be committed against the seat of the Parliament.
