After mass desertions: Maduro prohibits Venezuelan military from leaving country

translated from Spanish



ND / 20 Nov 2018.- Former Minister of Aquatic and Air Transport, MG Hebert Garcia Plaza, currently in exile, denounced on Tuesday a statement from SAIME in which conditions are imposed for the departure of the military - whether active or quality of withdrawal. He took the opportunity to tell Maduro that his days in Miraflores "are numbered."

Hebert García Plaza: "This communication from SAIME demonstrates the distrust of Nicolás Maduro in the FANB, which in fact is a ban on leaving the country for all military personnel. Without distinction of his condition (active or retired). Maduro, your dictatorship begins to implode, "he said in his Twitter account.

The former official uploaded the alleged communication signed by the Director of Migration of Saime, Luis Santiago Rodriguez, which dates from November 13 that states that in the case that an active military is going to leave the country should request "sheet of commission or authorization for travel abroad". In the case of the retired military, it is specified that the officials of Saime "must verify through their card the active reserve situation".

In another tweet García Plaza said that such action, along with the economic and humanitarian crisis as well as the possibility of the intensification of sanctions against high-level Venezuelan officials. "If to these sanctions Nicolás Maduro adds the possibility of being included in the list of countries that support terrorism, the power vacuum of 2019, the economic and humanitarian crisis, there is no doubt that your days are numbered," he said.

García Plaza was Minister of Water and Air Transport until 2015 until he fled the country and went into exile in the United States after being accused of alleged corruption with Bolipuertos and in the acquisition of three Ferrys that would have been bought without authorization by the of the government.
