Venezuela's government said it foiled a marine incursion on Sunday by 'terrorist mercenaries' who attempted to enter the country on speedboats from neighboring Colombia, which opposition leaders dismissed as a staged incident.
CARACAS - Venezuela’s government said it foiled a marine incursion on Sunday by “terrorist mercenaries” who attempted to enter the country on speedboats from neighboring Colombia, which opposition leaders dismissed as a staged incident.
Critics of the ruling Socialist Party often dismiss such accusations as stunts used as an excuse to detain opponents of the government. Opposition leader Juan Guaido said the government was seeking to distract from recent violent events including a deadly prison riot on Friday and bloody Caracas gang battle on Saturday night.
Maduro has overseen a six-year economic crisis that has left many citizens unable to obtain basic food and medicine and forced nearly five million people to emigrate.
