Excerpts of column "Runrunes" of Thursday, February 27

LOATHSOME.  
Reference is made to how Diosdado Cabello, the Speaker of the Venezuelan National Assembly (AN), referred in his show aired on Monday to engineer Alejandro Márquez. Cabello claimed that Márquez was a hit man in possession of war weapons; commanded by ex Colombian President Álvaro Uribe (the Colombian  Foreign Office fired back on Wednesday, February 26); trained in US territory; intent on killing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. In his explanation, Cabello showed pictures collected by government "intelligence services" as proof against engineer Márquez. The truth? Márquez was a member of a group comprising more than 1,500 Venezuelans who play a novel game known worldwide as "airsoft," where non-lethal replicas of arms are used. Márquez's relatives and dozen Venezuelans, many members of the very government who practice such sport are deeply indignant. They have borne witness to a real infamy, starred by the AN Speaker who said adamantly that Márquez was killed by one of his own team members, out of revenge, in retaliation. The truth:  Alejandro Márquez succumbed to the battering received from National Guard officers. These officers took his mobile off him when he was lying, wounded, in the street. And they continued beating him inside Vargas Hospital.

REDS. Several agencies are making headway with the investigation of killings perpetrated over the past few days, particularly the former two of February 19, one of which seems to be tied to an active leader of ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). Neighbors, stealthily, collected evidence that security bodies failed to observe in the middle of uncertainty after accurate shots and the ensuing mess... Who did order collectives to shatter stores only in the municipalities with mayors of opposition Voluntad Popular party? Why are they getting rid of Maximilian Arbeláez by sending to him to the United States, a country which has never refused an accreditation?
