Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said early Monday that colleague Juan Pablo Guanipa was kidnapped hours after he and 34 other jailed politicians were released from prison.
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?
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.

I do not understand what happened.

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.
