Caracas, July 21 (RHC)-- The Venezuelan prosecutor has in his possession the testimony and several evidences that point to Magallí Meda, Strategic Planning Manager of the opposition movement Vente Venezuela, to order the attack on two vehicles of the far-right leader María Corina Machado in Barquisimeto.

In a video released by local media, a non-identified man who said he was a member of Vente Venezuela for more than three years, offered his testimony: 

“I have always been close to Doctor Meda, helping her, escorting her and supporting her in everything she requested.  “Last Sunday, the 14th, she called me and presented a plan to make an attack on Doctor Machado’s truck.  She explained everything I had to do,” he confessed.

“The Prosecutor’s Office will charge the Vente Venezuela militant who attacked the vehicles that were transporting María Corina Machado in Barquisimeto.“

Weeks ago, Machado showed in a video on social networks, with the damage to vehicles and described what happened as an “attack against her.”  The vehicles in which they moved in the city of Barquisimeto had messages such as “No + bloqueo (blockade)”.

The accused said that the explicit orders were to damage the body of the two 4Runner trucks in which Machado is transported, cutting the brake hose and empty the crankcase that stores the engine oil.

The suspect said that after performing the self-sabotage action, Magallí Meda did not contact him again and so he decided to talk to the authorities because he said he was afraid for him and his family and that he felt he had been talking to a person with whom he had more than three years of service.

Magallí Meda has served as head of the national campaign command of the Maria Corina Machado’s Con Venezuela.

On March 20, 2024, a day before the start of the nomination process for the 2024 presidential elections, Attorney General Tarek William Saab ordered Magalli’s arrest for planning “destabilizing actions” in Venezuela.  Since then, Meda has been hiding in Argentina’s embassy in Caracas.
