    FARC and ELN elements could few him as leverage against the USA somehow as well. There’s a lot of reasons President Pedophile was worried about putting soldiers on the ground.

    This article is very unclear. Why is the word kidnapped in quotes? Was he not kidnapped? Where is he? Was there a ransom? Why did the government respond by accusing him of violating his parole?

    I do not understand what happened.

      He was just released from prison and kidnapped shortly after. This raises the suspicion that his release was a sham. If that’s the case then he wasn’t really kidnapped since he was never really free, despite being briefly outside prison.

        Ok. That sucks.

        It seems like this is kind of a problem in Venezuela, what with both major parties appearing to participate in kidnapping the rival’s leader.

        I don’t know quite what to do with this information other than oppose US involvement in Venezuela.

    Well, that’s not good. Very likely this was the ruling party’s action, but we can also blame Trump since he claims that he is in charge there (but only a fool would believe it).

      Not an expert but it could well be factional inflighting between those that want to cooperate with Trump and those that don’t.
