Security forces arrested six people who had been hired as transport and sound workers for the penultimate campaign event of opposition presidential candidate Edmundo González Urrutia for next Sunday’s elections, scheduled for this Tuesday in Zulia state, according to his political team.
The coordinator of the regional team, Gustavo Ruiz, explained to journalists that a police force, as yet unidentified, detained these people, who were travelling in two trucks, which were “retained” by the authorities.
The vehicles were intended to transport a sound system and González Urrutia, along with María Corina Machado, during the caravan that took place in the city of Maracaibo, capital of Zulia.
Ruiz denounced that Machado, who is banned from flying in the country, “has had a whole series of problems along the way” from Caracas to Maracaibo, where she has traveled to all her rallies and political activities over the past 10 years.
In the first 15 days of the electoral campaign, which ends on the 25th, the NGO Laboratorio de Paz recorded 76 “arbitrary arrests”, in addition to the six recorded today.
The PUD candidate will compete with nine other candidates in next Sunday’s elections, including President Nicolás Maduro.
