paramilitaries

The Mèrida Initiative was planned by the U.S. and Mexican authorities as a program that would satisfy all skeptics. It was expected that the Initiative would please Mexicans who see the “new U.S. expansion” in everything; and the representatives of the Washington establishment who want to justify these fears at the expense of humanitarian intervention; and those who strongly believe that the drug trafficking is the exclusively Mexican internal problem that the USA should not intervene into. However, after four years the Mèrida Initiative failed to meet these expectations.

President Nicolas Maduro denounced, that his opponents, with US support, are trying to infiltrate Colombian paramilitaries to generate violence and chaos in Venezuela.
On national radio and television Maduro called the people, the military and police forces to be vigilant and to prevent an armed attack from Colombian infiltrated paramilitary forces in Zulia, Tachira and Apure.
