On the morning of February 23, deputy Freddy Superlano of Voluntad Popular was found unconscious with his cousin and assistant in a room at the -payper hour- Penélope motel in Cucuta. According to the police report, released by the anti-chavista journalist Deivis Ramírez, the two men after the Venezuela Aid Live concert went to the pink zone of Cúcuta and from there  to the motel with two women who left the room without companions a few hours later. Finally, Superlano and his cousin were taken to the Jorge Cristo Sahium hospital, where the second died of cardiac arrest.

The Cúcuta police also reported that the two women stole personal items and cash from the two poisoned men. In spite of that, as soon as the fact was known, anti-chavismo personalities, like Sen. Marco Rubio blamed Maduro and others even Russia.

Deputy Freddy Superlano, is known to have staged the massacre in Socopó, Barinas, during the guarimbas in 2017. That day what really happened was that armed groups ransacked shops and attacked police and the Bolivarian National Guard headquarters. Currently, he is hospitalized and recovering from the poisoning.

Orinoco Tribune operates without any advertising. We are not funded by any governments, think tanks, or large institutions. Our operations are entirely funded by readers like you. Our most generous donors have been targeted by the US for supporting socialist causes or are financially struggling. As a result, their accounts have been frozen, cutting off a significant revenue stream and severely threatening the sustainability of Orinoco Tribune.

We urge our readers and supporters, especially those not currently doing so, to help us with small donation (such as US $5 or $10/month) via Patreon, via Paypal/Credit-Card/crypto or via paper checks. Readers and supporters like you will allow us to continue bringing you progressive and hard-hitting news from Latin America, the Global South, and the world.

Help us reach our goal of $650 in monthly Patreon donations. We are counting on you as our only source of financial support!
