From armed struggle to fanatic repression and illegality

The history of collectives and other paramilitary forces goes back to the past of the armed struggle that took place in Venezuela, explained the coordinator of the Venezuelan Education Program – Action for Human Rights (Provea), Rafael Uzcátegui, in an interview with Infobae.

In the 1980s and 1990s, these groups were pacified and moved to the legal struggle and dissent in public universities. but with the arrival of Hugo Chávez in power in 1999, they have gained even more prominence.

The Simón Bolívar Cultural Coordinator is "the great origin" of collectives in its current version, which gradually they approached the PSUV until they became the bodyguards of their officials, then violent defenders of the so-called Bolivarian revolution.

In 2013, they started their work "public security" and in 2014, they had their baptism of fire in the role in which they grabbed their most infamous reputation: the brutal repression of the demonstrations of the opposition against Nicolás Maduro.

Although they are armed,Their tactics vary according to the situation and often they just use poles or even the mbadive presence of their motorcycles., one of the most powerful collective and motorized symbols, to generate fear.

The regime quickly warned that the use of collectives was an ideal deterrent, since their illegality added to their brutality and fanaticism, which brought their victims terror to denounce for fear of reprisals.

Uzcátegui also explained that its financing is provided by social plans. The government grants them articles for their cultural projects and also manages public tasks such as food distribution. "We can also badume that there is no visible funding, not all, but a good part is funded by illegal activities," added the coordinator.
