The hypothesis that Venezuelan secret agents kidnapped Venezuelan First Lieutenant Ronald Ojeda in Chile is gaining strength. Venezuelan publication La Razón reported in its latest issue that an agreement signed in January between Chile and Venezuela in Caracas includes the "exchange of biometric and ten-print information of Venezuelan dissidents located in Chilean territory." The report also claims that Gabriel Boric's socialist government "opened the doors of the country to Venezuelan police and military organizations," with the stated purpose of combatting Venezuelan criminal group Tren de Aragua. Chilean deputies confirmed the existence of these clauses, saying that as a result, "Chile is no longer a safe place" for opponents of Nicolás Maduro's dictatorship.

'Cooperation for capture'

The report even states that Ojeda's name came to light in the meeting that Chilean Assistant Interior Secretary Manuel Monsalve had with Lieutenant Colonel Granko Arteaga, head of operations of the feared General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM). Specifically, Arteaga requested Chile's "cooperation with the capture" of the first lieutenant, who escaped from the Ramo Verde prison in 2017.

Boric's government continues deflect any questions, saying there is an ongoing police investigation to confirm the facts. According to Monsalve, who signed the agreement on behalf of Chile in the Venezuelan capital, accusing the Bolivarian dictatorship of committing the kidnapping is premature. However, his words have not convinced the opposition, who openly accuse the signed agreement of giving free rein to Maduro's DGCIM to carry out operations on Chilean soil.

'Chile is no longer safe' for Venezuelan dissidents

Chilean Deputy Camila Flores confirmed the existence of the aforementioned clause affecting Venezuelan citizens who enter Chile fleeing the repression of the Bolivarian regime and pointed out that Caracas has already obtained this information from Chile.

The agreement between Chile and the Maduro dictatorship is effective. The agreement obliges Chile to provide biometric information of all people of Venezuelan nationality in our country. It is evident that the Maduro dictatorship already has detailed information on the refugees in Chile, so it is urgently necessary for these victims to seek asylum in a country that provides them with assistance and guarantees the protection of their human rights. Chile is no longer safe for them.
