Venezuelan opposition Deputy Freddy Superlano, from the “Voluntad Popular” party was found unconscious at the -pay per hour- Penélope motel in Cúcuta.
The minister of Information and Communications of Venezuela, Jorge Rodriguez, reported this incident last Sunday making clear that these are sensitive personal issues that are usually not raised to public scrutiny by the Venezuelan government but in light of the accusations raised by Sen.

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.
