@SenatorHagerty@POTUS Now Trump is best friend with exactly the same narcoterrorists, assassins and criminals he said he was fighting against.
Maduro was just in the way.
It’s appalling how he doesn’t mind to go to bed with that kind of human garbage.
Exclusive: Swiss prosecutors asked the U.S. Justice Department to arrest a Venezuelan businessman.
Instead, he was given a multi-entry visa and allowed to travel to the U.S. for meetings with the Trump administration. https://t.co/pFgIDc977c
#URGENTE | The Washington Post revela que fiscales suizos solicitaron a Estados Unidos detener a Alejandro Betancourt, pero el Departamento de Justicia no actuó.
En cambio, le otorgaron una visa de entradas múltiples y pudo viajar varias veces a EE. UU.
Betancourt sigue bajo investigación, aunque no ha sido acusado formalmente.
An illegitimate interim government with an illegitimate hydrocarbons law has no legitimacy to strike this unconstitutional deal. It will be a fiasco for all involved, starting with @SecRubio.

Alejandro Betancourt is a white-collar criminal. There is no difference between someone like Nicolás Maduro and him. Today, millions of Venezuelans cannot read this news because they have no electricity, and they have no electricity because money that was supposed to be used for that purpose was instead used to buy a castle in Europe and other luxuries for Betancourt.
Betancourt is also responsible for the mass migration of 9 million Venezuelans, the destruction of the oil industry, the collapse of the Venezuelan economy, and much more. How is a country supposed to function when it spends half the day without electricity? It is impossible, right? That is why millions fled Venezuela. That is why hundreds of thousands crossed the Darién Gap in an attempt to enter the United States illegally.
So how do you reward someone who not only helped destroy Venezuela and its people, but also threatened the national security of the United States?
Of course, Betancourt has billions of dollars obtained through corruption to pay lawyers, lobbyists, media outlets, smear campaigns against those who expose him, and orchestrated campaigns to whitewash his image. Betancourt can do all of that. But do you know what he cannot do? Cover up the truth, erase the past, or make people forget that their misery is directly connected to what he did in complicity with the criminal system known as Chavismo.
Thousands of Venezuelans have died in the country’s hospitals because of power outages during critical moments. Many others have died as a result of the economic devastation this has caused. That cannot be forgotten or erased.
For Venezuela to truly recover, transition to democracy, and become a stable long-term ally of the United States, it needs more than free elections. It also needs to confront impunity and undertake an open and transparent privatization process that excludes actors linked to Chavismo. Otherwise, we risk becoming a new Russia: a country dominated by oligarchs from the old system, with an authoritarian regime that may evolve in form but remains unchanged in essence—and that, more than 30 years later, is still one of the United States’ principal enemies.
We genuinely want Venezuela to become a legitimate ally of the United States in energy, security, and geopolitical matters. We are the ones who have spent decades exposing and calling for the dismantling of the narco-terrorist cartels in the region that have killed hundreds of thousands of Americans through drugs and were led from Venezuela by Maduro, Delcy, Diosdado, and their associates—the very same people who worked with Betancourt and allowed him to amass his wealth. That is precisely why we understand the grave mistake this represents, not only for Venezuela and Venezuelans, but above all for the national security of the United States for decades to come.
History should serve precisely this purpose: to help us recognize our mistakes and avoid repeating them.
🫓 We wrote about this last week:
“What’s enraging here, is that it was as easy as flipping a switch. Which is further proof that tormenting Venezuelans was state policy. They knew what they were doing, and even worse, they knew how to fix it.”

No hay razones técnicas ni legales que justifiquen postergar la renovación del Consejo Nacional Electoral hasta diciembre, cuando la legislación de Venezuela permite hacerlo en un plazo de dos meses.
Octubre es una fecha posible si hay voluntad política. https://t.co/ReYaoscED0
Hay sapos que una transición obliga a tragarse. Pero otros son imposibles.
Alejandro Betancourt pasó de protagonizar el ascenso de Derwick Associates durante la emergencia eléctrica, con miles de millones de dólares en contratos públicos y años de cuestionamientos, a aparecer hoy nuevamente como empresario, intermediario, asesor y puente de negocios.
Y la pregunta no es solo cómo llegó hasta allí, sino cuántos facilitaron y siguen facilitando el camino.
Porque estas redes no se construyen solas: alguien adjudica, firma, paga, asesora, conecta y abre puertas, dentro y fuera de Venezuela.
Una transición puede implicar concesiones. Lo que no debería exigirnos es perder la memoria, la ética ni la exigencia de justicia.
¿En serio también tenemos que tragarnos este sapo?
#Venezuela #Justicia
Un reporte del HSBC Bank USA comprobó que los bolichicos de Derwick continuaron moviendo parte del dinero que ganaron con la crisis eléctrica de Venezuela aun cuando ya estaban en el foco de un escándalo de corrupción

🫓 Alejandro Betancourt has been trending for weeks—a notorious "boligarch" with a documented history of corruption dating back to HCF, now a key oil producer and player for T2.
@cazamosfakenews uncovered the campaign to smear his critics, promote Delcy👇 https://t.co/IXfhaQJrEx
Alejandro Betancourt is ground zero for understanding corruption in Venezuela. This fearless investigation by London’s Sunday Times is an excellent introduction to how a politically connected grifter got rich through corruption and is now being positioned as indispensable to Venezuela’s future

75 cuentas falsas, 13 medios ficticios y noticieros falsos: la operación para limpiar la imagen del bolichico Alejandro Betancourt https://t.co/eSIulf5AnH
@spgabi@InesBetancur1 Si para ti eso es normal, realmente lamento las situaciones de tu vida que te hicieron normalizar eso. Y espero que no tengas niños a tu cargo.
Así es la operación digital inauténtica que defiende a Alejandro Betancourt y que ataca a los medios que lo cubren
Trolls y falsos noticieros defienden a Alejandro Betancourt y su petrolera NABEP en redes, mientras atacan a periodistas y medios que investigan sus actividades.
La campaña es impulsada por al menos 75 cuentas en X, 13 páginas web de falsos noticieros creados en dos días y una red de desinformación en Instagram previamente estudiada. 🧵1/10
