Venezuelan president targets two journalists and calls on public prosecutor's office to intervene

“At a rally in the city of Upata, Bolívar state [southern Venezuela], on Monday, July 15, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, rejected 'the fascist and racist actions' of journalists Orlando Avendaño and Emmanuel Rincón, and urged the Public Prosecutor's Office to take action.

He criticized a campaign loaded with 'hatred, racism and classism' against the popular sectors that support his reelection, and said that certain sectors of the opposition are planning 'acts of violence'.

The president said participating in those plans are ‘two fascists who from abroad are supporting puppets, violence, fraud and a forceful takeover,’ referring to Avendaño and Rincón.”
