Tarek William Saab, Attorney General of the Republic of Venezuela, issued a statement denouncing what he calls a “disastrous psychological operation” designed to unleash acts of violence in the country, just as President Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration for the period 2025-2031 is approaching.

Saab noted that Maria Corina Machado, an opposition leader, is under criminal investigation for crimes including treason and conspiracy with foreign countries following the presidential elections of July 28.

The prosecutor clarified that any arrest warrant would be subject to the guarantees of the Venezuelan legal system.

The statement also refers to an alleged “false flag operation” in which Machado’s arrest was misreported. Saab criticized this action as a simulation designed to victimize the opposition and divert attention from the “resounding failure” of its political sector.

The Attorney General accused the leaders of the international extreme right of coordinating to spread what he considers to be falsehoods, with the aim of sowing chaos and violence in Venezuela.

Despite these attempts, Saab emphasized that the Venezuelan people and state institutions are committed to peace and national welfare, saying they will not allow the day of celebration marking the inauguration of President Maduro to be tarnished.

The statement underlines the commitment of the Venezuelan government to the country’s stability and prosperity, in a context marked by political and social tensions.
