Maduro and Russia endanger dialogue in Mexico for fear of Alex Saab

When last September 8 the Constitutional Court of Cape Verde authorized the extradition of Alex Nain Saab Morán -the Pandora’s box of Chavismo- the Palace of Miraflores tremble. It was the last instance that separated the magically prosperous Colombian businessman – who provides his services and his name to Nicholas Mature– of extradition. He is the man who most tried to protect the regime to prevent its final scale in the States Units it becomes an explosive and definitive statement about the darkest tunnels of Chavismo.

The arrest of Saab on the African island on June 12, 2020 that as if he were one of those sudden saints of Christianity who are automatically elevated to the heavenly altars, he received citizenship, passport and Venezuelan diplomat card instantly. Caracas he works miracles when he is desperate. Ironies of the present: how more than six million Venezuelans embarked on a painful diaspora around the world, Mature he was only concerned with a brand new compatriot, the most valuable of the immigrants, isolated in the midst of the Atlantic.

In recent days, Miraflores tried by all means to stop the plane that would take the supplier and state “official” -as recognized by the Attorney General of Venezuela in an interview with Infobae– to Florida placing the Colombian in front of American prosecutors. At such a point the tension grows that the conversations in Mexico they could sink. This is how Chavismo and its main interlocutor, spokesman and partner at the dialogue table are exposing it in the last few hours. Russia.

was Moscow -five days ago- the first to warn about the extradition of the alleged ringleader to the States Units. He did so through a statement signed by one of his spokesmen, Maria Zajarova. In it they assure that the decision of the Constitutional Court of Cape Verde constitutes a “threatens dialogue“en Mexico. Days later, in a strange parable, they pointed out that they did not want to condition the negotiations.

“We believe that the criminal prosecution of A Saab, who has diplomatic status and carried out a humanitarian mission, has political motivations.“, Explained the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vladimir Putin. A clear and explicit pressure not only on cap Green, But to those who sit at the Mexican table.

It is believed that the family of Saab, el Pandora businessman, Is located in Russia. Why is the Kremlin in which you do not step on American soil? What are you afraid of being known? Maybe the veil will run when it finally lands at Florida.

Also the lawyer of Saab, The former Spanish judge Balthazar Waiter shared the same line of thought as Russian diplomacy. The court ruling on extradition, he said, “it can have a negative impact“en Mexico. It is commendable how the magistrate multiplies his working hours to defend Chavismo.

The next desperate maneuver of Miraflores it happened this Tuesday. That’s when they surprisingly wanted to add the detained businessman on the African island to negotiations with the Venezuelan opposition. he announced it Jorge Rodriguez, The most important Chavista delegate in Mexico City. He argues the same as the lawyers for Saab: That he is a diplomat. will propose to Norway, Russia and als Netherlands the new name. The maneuver is the same as they did the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) when negotiating peace with the government of Juan Manuel Santos in 2012 and appointed Simon Trinity as negotiator in Cuba.

Venezuelan opposition delegates strongly rejected the onslaught.

For more pressure: as night approached Caracas, The regime’s attorney general announced that an investigation had been opened against Juan Guaidó, President in charge and top figure of the opposition, for “betrayal of the homeland”. Tarek William Saab said that in addition the cause is related to “usurpation of functions, conspiracy, theft of assets and criminal association“Few crimes were left out of Venezuela ‘s Criminal Code.

The maneuver, from escalating to the arrest of the opposition leader, would end with the Mexican talks. Is that one of the main points being debated there is precisely the release of all trapped politicians, Sum that reaches the 261 according to Criminal Forum, An organization that denounces systematic human rights violations by the dictatorship of Mature. Chavismo will be encouraged to cross that thin red line that would be the arrest of Guaidó before the eyes of the world?

The other extradition that worries me Miraflores -although for now it was neutralized- is that of the Hugo “El Pollastre” Carvajal. The former head of the Military Counterintelligence Directorate of Hugo Chavez i Mature was arrested in Madrid last September 10th. The transfer of the general is on standby thanks to the favor of a Spanish court that slowed down the process. The judges in this instance are particularly controversial. Judicial favors done to a military man accused of being one of the popes of the Poster of the Suns intrigued not only in Spain, But also in United States. Perhaps they have the friendship of some former paladin of justice who receives favors from Chavismo.

Carvajal it is also a threat to the entire Chavista hierarchy if it started speaking before the DEA. This American anti-narcotics office is the one that put a price on his head and found him in it Madrid, Hidden in an apartment from which he barely left for two years. He had changed his physical appearance and face so that they would not recognize him, in the best style Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán and other famous narcos.
