First, it has become a maximum security prison for some opposition figures who were imprisoned by the Nicolás Maduro regime. The last case is that of the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament, Edgar Zambrano.

The journalist Vladimir Kislinger revealed that it also functions as a haven for the dictator and for the main figures of the government. "In this military facility is a shelter bunker (…), located in the Special Unit for Security and Protection of Personalities of the State (UESPPE). It is used by Maduro for its protection and would serve – for all its features and equipment – for maintenance in case of uprising. military or possible air attack, "he said on his Twitter account.

The area is under the orbit of Brigadier General Iván Rafael Hernández Dala, head of the House of the Army and commander of the Directorate General of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM).
