\n

\"I am tired of making these complaints and nobody listens to me, and it's a shame that, being this such a delicate case and one that concerns us all, no government authority has been interested in resolving it,\" the congressman pointed out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nHe maintained that, just as they dismantle large forested areas for timber or subsistence farming, they are also destroying the beds of rivers and streams, criminally extracting aggregates, right under the noses of the authorities.\n\n\n

During the conflict, Mr. Manuel B\u00e1ez, in a program broadcast on the YouTube platform, publicly stated that he owns land in the area and that, after acquiring it, he moved to the United States due to military commitments. In said intervention, he expressed that, as a result of the situation in Venezuela, he remained active to retake his lands.<\/p>\n\n\nHe also declared that one of his daughters belongs to the CIA, assuring that she holds the highest rank within the agency and participated in the capture of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro; likewise, he affirmed that he has a son who is a major general in the United States.\n\nAccording to his own words, he recounted that his children had warned him: \"Dad, we have problems, because there will be two or three invasions that will be seen very soon<\/strong>\", pointing out that, due to their closeness, especially his daughter to high-level political figures in the United States and due to the role of his son directing personnel under his command, they would be willing to intervene.\n\nB\u00e1ez stated that his children told him that, if necessary, they would go to the disputed lands and that they could use an incendiary bomb \"so that not even the root remains<\/strong>\", adding that, in his opinion, the situation \"is going downhill\" and that no person should remain on what he considers family heritage.\n\nThe communities clarified that they do not question legally acquired private property, but denounced that Mr. B\u00e1ez had proceeded to fell pine trees outside the limits of his land, appropriating natural resources that do not belong to him, affecting protected and community use areas.\n\nFaced with this situation, Senator for the province of Santiago Rodr\u00edguez, Antonio Marte, echoed the popular clamor and directly supported the communities, siding with his people and requesting an immediate and transparent intervention by the competent authorities, especially the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, for an investigation.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
