Soldados de Guyana se movilizan hacia la frontera por reclamos de oposición venezolana del Esequibo
Guyanese troops on high alert for Venezuelan opposition
Guyanese troops at the border with Venezuela are on high alert after recent noises in the opposition camp in Caracas concerning Eteringbang on the Cuyuni River. Opposition legislators also recently visited the border community and raised a banner saying that Essequibo belongs to Venezuela.
Speaking during his post-Cabinet media briefing on Wednesday, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon said such interest has been noted and the Joint Services ranks stationed there have been put on alert. Dr Luncheon added that the interest “is in the context of their attitude towards Guyana’s Essequibo, one that is felt to be massaged in the eve of the imminent electoral process in Venezuela”.
The Cabinet secretary added that the historic opposition parties in Venezuela have fed on this nationalistic overture which they feel would enhance their appeal. He explained that members of Venezuela’s legislature have undertaken to visit and have been visiting Eteringbang accompanied by the Venezuelan paramilitary.
He, however, added, “Our Joint Services detachment in the location have been made aware of these planned visits and have been ordered to remain vigilant in the context of such visits.”
Legislators who have been identified from opposition parties in Venezuela have had at least one visit that has been documented and which occurred “with all the rules and regulations in accordance with such visits”, Dr Luncheon said.
According to the Venezuelan newspaper El Universal, a group of Venezuelan opposition deputies travelled to the Essequibo, in defence of Venezuela’s sovereignty earlier this week.
