In times of war, the allies are fundamental, wherever they come from, this concept was understood very well by the government of Nicolás Maduro and in the hands of Iris Varela the minister for the Penitentiary Service, a leadership of an improvised army is carried out, a troop used as a gestapo, ready to eliminate the enemies of the rulers. It is no wonder that grotesque news of abuses of the rule of law erupts everywhere in Venezuela, ungovernability gives time for all these ilk, and the apparent disunity of the armed force generates the perfect space for the army led by Iris to appear.

It was not enough only with the Chavez colectivos, this army was armed mainly with the inmates that under the figure "new men" go out to repress, to fulfill what many officers of the armed forces have refused.

"There is no legal condition for a Venezuelan to defend his homeland. Prisoners are new men" These were the words of Minister Iris Varela, when she was interviewed by the Táchira television station; affirming that the inmates who support the government have all the power to leave their prison and join a kind of inmate militia. There are many reports of armed civilians in different parts of Venezuela, creating nerves for the population. A true Bolivarian armed wing that could cause a civil war. It should be noted that in 20 years of revolution, the prison crisis increased in an incredible way, inside the prisons inhabit the most dangerous criminal gangs, which have total control of the prison spaces and street crime, the criminals have all A facility to put together your organization and plan and execute any criminal plan. Now it is these same criminals who guard the borders and prevent the entry of humanitarian aid.

Humberto Prado, general coordinator of the Venezuelan Observatory of Prisons (OVP) asked to investigate the minister for the Penitentiary Service, Iris Varela, who ordered the transfer of 30 prisoners from the Santa Ana prison, Táchira state, to bet on the border with Colombia This is what the carabobeño newspaper pointed out.

The despair experienced by the ruling party in these times is evident. The national assembly, the community in general and the NGOs, should ask for an explanation of the release of the inmates at the service of the government of the mature, the management of the inmates as gestapos and curb the axiomatic violation of the rights of the inmates.

Even a priest "terrorist pedophile" written on the wall of his church because he said things that bother the regime.

The grave message was recorded as graffiti on one of the walls of the Dulce Nombre de Jesús parish, located in the historic center of Petare.

The vicar Héctor Luna, victim of the insult, points out that "it is a sign of hatred and intolerance, what we ask as pastors is that we are able to find a political solution and that political solution happens because the regime listens to society ."

Although he has received personal threats, Father Luna clings to the faith. "I believe deeply in the power that comes from the grace of God and I believe that that power is what keeps me here," he said.

And it is not the only case. Inhabitants of Táchira, border state with Colombia, denounce that armed groups at the service of the regime have marked their homes with the symbol of 'prohibited', to indicate that there live people who are against Nicolás Maduro.

"What they did yesterday in San Antonio del Táchira, marking the houses of political parties, of leaders, of neighbors, is the best example that they are not right, that they lost the street and the affection of the people," said Laidy Gómez, governor of that state.

The Táchira populations were attacked by vigilante groups during the past weekend, when they tried to introduce trucks to the country with humanitarian aid.

Ana Rosario Contreras, president of the College of Nurses of Caracas, said that the medicines announced by Nicolás Maduro have not reached Venezuelan hospitals.

"We were the object of lies by the government that Nicolás Maduro is usurping today, where are the medicines that were going to reach the Periférico de Catia, or the Pérez de León? You have lied to the country, we can not continue to allow health to continue to be a show, and every time a patient dies it is the responsibility of the usurper," Contreras said during a press conference.

Maduro said on February 21 that 7.5 tons of medicines from Russia would arrive to the national territory to supply the emergencies and surgical care of the Ruíz and Paez hospitals, in the state of Bolívar; Pérez de León, in Miranda and the Periférico de Catia health center, in Caracas, this was reported by the Efecto Cocuyo portal .

Maduro's statements came two days before the blockade of humanitarian aid entry on February 23, the day in which authorities at the borders stopped the passage of supplies into the national territory.

Although the official version is expected by the director of the Botanical and Zoological Park Bararida , the veterinarian Ramón Bastidas, met through employees of the place and visitors, who this morning died of hunger Indian pony, in the contact area Pancho farm. There, one of the guides said that the animal was in zone 8 next to the monkeys, where there was water, but when he went to verify if it was true, the falsity of the information was corroborated.

After finding the 21-year-old animal lifeless, they wrapped it in a white sheet and " they fed it to the rest of the species, " said one worker, who preferred to remain anonymous.

The opinion matrix that was generated today in the plant lung also caused discomfort among the staff of the recreational space, which is visited daily by locals and tourists alike.

Another unfortunate fact is related to Elephant Gira , who apparently has not eaten for 9 days. This African animal (loxodonta) is a specimen that lost its teeth due to its age, which is why it can not eat, an official commented. However, other people claimed that it was because of a lack of food that he was weak.

While the journalist team of elimpulso.com made the tour, the African area was closed, while several veterinarians and staff of the Bararida Park, try until the closure of the enclosure, sit it to be able to hydrate it. "He had several days that they forgot to change the water", was heard in one of the informants. So it is clear, that for more than a month, the vital liquid is absent from the facilities.

As well as Gira, the Aquiles pony (of brown color) was placed in quarantine, due to his state of health. "He was very aggressive," one park ranger reported.

Other animals that at first glance are seen with little weight for their size, is the white bengal tiger.

Mexico City, February 28 - Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador tries to close Pandora's box of wage demands that he helped open when he doubled the minimum wage in the border areas with the United States.

The labor unrest has already spread to other plants not dedicated to manufacturing in the city, bordering Brownsville, Texas. Workers in local industries, for example from bottling plants, demand the same 20% increase and $ 1,650 equivalent bonds that maquiladora employees successfully negotiated, and there is a risk that the stoppages will spread throughout the country.

López Obrador tried to calm the wave of work stoppages on Thursday, saying that salaries should increase, but "that there should not be an environment of instability in the workplace."

Washington, DC - The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) urges the national institutions of the State of Venezuela to protect the rights to life and personal integrity of Juan Guaidó in accordance with the precautionary measure granted by the IACHR on January 25, 2019

The Commission has learned that recent death threats were filed against Juan Guaidó, who is a beneficiary of precautionary measures granted by the IACHR. These threats would have been made through calls to relatives, and would have been preceded by other risk events that have been known by the Commission. These events include visits of alleged officers of a special unit of the Bolivarian Police to his home, as well as the temporary detention of which Mr. Guaidó was subjected on January 13, 2019, which was described by the authorities as "irregular ".

As the Commission pointed out in its Resolution 1/2019, Juan Guaidó is currently the most visible figure of opposition in a context of great political fragility and deep social upheaval, which has led to the mobilization of thousands of people in the streets of Venezuela, where there have been acts of violence. In this scenario, the Commission considered that the elements contributed by the applicants in the current political scenario demonstrate an exceptional high tension context in which there would be sectors politically divided around the actions that have been carried out in relation to the situation of Juan Guaidó. Given the profile of Juan Guaidó at the present time, and the recognition of several countries as President in charge of Venezuela.

In view of the above, the Commission reiterates its Resolution 1/2019 and, in particular, urges the national institutions of the State of Venezuela to adopt the necessary measures to protect the rights to life and personal integrity, and guarantee the safety of Juan Gerardo Guaidó and its nuclear family, in accordance with the standards established by international human rights law, including the protection of their rights in relation to acts of risk attributable to third parties.

It is easy to realize when a Government loses its calm and feels cornered, it does not coordinate its actions, it becomes erratic, therefore, by letting itself be carried away by its emotions, it commits the biggest mistakes and sinks, there are no advisors that can control a "ruler"" It's on the verge of sunset.

February 23 on the border was a reflection of that. Of course the madurismo did not have it easy, letting humanitarian aid pass was a defeat and not let it happen the same, they had to choose which was the least bad path, but ended up choosing the worst alternative to repress the volunteers who were ready to help that humanitarian action materialize. Not only that burned three trucks with the supplies and food that were on board, a very serious action that according to some opinions is a crime against humanity.

Faced with such an erratic elite, it is predictable to know what the next false step will be. Nicolás mature already pounced the possibility of imprisoning Juan Guaido, when they put prisoner to Leopoldo López the impact at international level was tremendous, both the pressure and the headache, had to agree to give him home for jail. You have to take into account some differences between one and the other, Lopez did not have the backing that the President of the AN has and yet it was complicated to the Government, imagine the suicidal error of putting Guaidó prisoner when he has the backing and recognition of a not insignificant amount of nations, more internally also has a lot of popularity. It would be a big miscalculation with catastrophic dimensions for the ruling elite and the nation.
