Exclusive: Two officers who participated in the military uprising revealed the details of "Operation Libertad" and assured that it was continuing

They ask me not to publish their names. These are two of the officers who participated in the April 30 military support action, which Juan Guaidó christened "Operation Libertad". They argue that at the bargaining table that led to that day, they were Maikel Moreno (TSJ), the Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Padrino López, the major general Iván Hernández Dala (Dgcim and Military House) and the Major General Manuel Cristopher Figuera (Sebin)

They badert that, in view of the fact that the negotiation exceeded what was established, Maikel Moreno and Padrino López are separated from it. "And this is where the group, to which we had to start the movement, decided to go and go to the site (highway at the La Carlota airbase) because they were going to take action against the person who was leading the negotiation who was General Cristopher"

"We were part of," they say, "of all the negotiations that took place, of the events prepared the previous days. Our mission was to manifest ourselves and initiate the final phase of the Liberty operation that was to generate the announcement of Maikel Moreno (President of the Supreme Court of Justice) and military support of the Minister of Defense (Vladimir Padrino López). As it was not the case, among all the military units ready for that day, some did not appear and the commandos of Sebin (Bolivarian Intelligence Service) who came to the site with us, seeing that there was no statement, place. "

When I consult them about the evidence they have that what they say is true, they answer that "we have a photographic documentation where the commandos of the Sebin were with their blue bracelets, before retiring"when their bosses did not arrive instead.

They explain that the agreements reached to carry out Operation Libertad included the obligation to release the political prisoners who were at the headquarters of the General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (Dgcim). "This responsibility rested with the head of investigations, Colonel Hannover Guerrero.In the case of SEBIN, it was the Commissioner Angel Flores, who had committed to release helicoid prisoners, in addition to to comply with the presidential pardon decree in favor of Leopoldo López, signed by President Guaidó, also granted a pardon to Commander Igber Marín Chaparro, Major Suárez Ramos, Deputy Juan Requesens and many others. "

I would like to ask them what shows that Hernandez Dala, Padrino Lopez, Maikel Moreno, Hannover and Flores were really committed to the operation. They respond that the evidence is in the hands of General Christopher and that he will teach it at the appropriate time. "Look at something, inside the agents Hanover handled, there were officials who, when they were contacted by our group, conveyed the novelty and that Hanover has nothing done, that is, that he showed us that he knew this movement. Some of the agents have the text messages that will be made public at the moment"

They talk about several officials involved who are not yet public and point out that the head of the national police, the general, was attached to them. Carlos Perez Ampueda, who was dismissed the same day and so was Commander Bastardo of FAES.

I discuss when Padrino Lopez, who is an officer of rather military appearance, could be the subject of a conversation led by General Cristopher. "Nobody wants to lose their status quo. You, who are familiar with military matters, know that in the high command many interests are taken into account, while we act more by patriotism and by profound changes in Venezuela for a better quality of life. "

General Cristopher Figuera

Remember that hardly a general gives a blow, that those who do it are the commanders. I insist: why did General Cristopher never come to Altamira?

"Perhaps because he knew that what was being discussed at the negotiating table was not going to be realized and that when Padrino and Maikel Moreno did not speak out, he was going to be arrested. The operation took place on May 1, and General Cristopher gave the order to send it to April 30, but he did not show up afterwards. "

Regarding the moment when the head of SEBIN participated in the operation, they point out that it was when he discovered that there are other officials in the negotiation. "Christopher and other senior officials met Leopoldo López and President Guaidó. Also commanders"

They claim that the day before, that is to say on April 29, Christopher had given them a course of action to follow the next day. "We have reached a gentleman agreement, we have reached an agreement for Venezuela without any personal interest, aspirations or personal accusations"

They emphasize the crisis of the country in the absence of drugs, food "because to command the troops, you have to find a box of food, pay for the pbadage, because their parents are wrong, the troops cry when they are interviewed. The inclemency that inhabits people on foot is the same as that experienced in the commandos"

"There are subordinates who do not have military boots and the salary they earn is not enough to cover this needit is then like a double moral requirement addressed to the troops without having to conform. At this moment, the troop is working for a box of food. " They badure that the troop left happy, motivated and moralized by the operation Freedom.

"None of these guys have been cheated. What happened is that since they saw that the operation was not completed as planned, they were scared and when they started to be called, the commandos were manipulated. They proposed to them that if they declared against their superiors, they would not be imprisoned, but even if they did, they were arrested, tortured and abused because they had fallen into their game . "

They report that in the Dgcim there are several inmates and they are tortured to try to find the commanders involved. "Our act was not isolated, no military unit was attacked, we only responded to the request of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, as recognized by Juan Guaidó. "

They insisted that the major of aviation, Andry Federico Carrizalez, who with five subordinates tried to take the CAVIM weapon park, was not directly involved but was a spontaneous action on their part.

"We knew that when we were talking to La Carlota, I would light a flame and imagine that the mayor had made the decision to do something for the people before the hot fight," said the two officers. operation 30A.

They focus on the politics of terror and that's why "very few try to fight this fear. We imagine that before our action, this major had decided to act and had been badly attacked by other military on the site. "

They are convinced that far from being demoralized and diminished "in the armed forces a hope is borna breach was opened and the beginning of the end of the usurpation began ".

They point out that what happened on April 30 does not mean more than the continuity of the Libertad operation. "The movement is in full development. This served as a link to all the units that are losing their fear. "

They explain that the prisoners could not be released because "the head of investigations of the Sebin did not comply and that of the Dgcim, either. The politics of terror influenced and people did not want to move forward. "

They confessed that when they were near La Carlota on 30A, they received calls from government officials and people who knew them asking why they had done so and where they had left the house. The legacy of Hugo Chávez. "We responded that for less than what is happening today, Chávez has given a coup d'etat"

On how many soldiers were involved, they released the account of a detachment with 200 men, in addition to military units that have not retreated, more 120 orders from Sebinas well as some units that did not arrive because they were waiting for the development of events, in addition to the police units. "This movement generated a gap. The Venezuelan army must make its voice heard and lose the fear of the corrupt, to advance and recover the country. "

I ask them what made them go through this stage of 30A at the risk of losing their career, the threat to them and their families, risking losing their freedom, even their lives. They reply that "a high level negotiation ensured a high percentage of success of the operation and guaranteed a peace negotiation"
