“The situation of the Argentine citizen Nahuel Gallo kidnapped and arbitrarily arrested in Venezuela without imputation, without legal or consular assistance, in simple words: a forced disappearance. We demand from the Government of Venezuela its immediate release and call on the international community to accompany this legitimate claim, in defense of the most basic principles of international law and human dignity, ”he said Javier Milei in his speech on Wednesday at the United Nations.
At 7 in the morning of December 8 last year, Gendarme Nahuel Agustín Gallo did migratory control to enter Venezuela, with the intention was to see his Venezuelan partner. In the border crossing of Cúcuta, officers of the Bolivarian Government took away his cell phone, his luggage and left him delayed. Hours later, a message came to the cell phone Alexandra Gómez GarcíaGallo’s girlfriend who had returned to her native country to take care of her mother a few months before, informing her of the arrest.
That was the last time his wife spoke with him. After she made her complaint public, the Argentine State denounced an “illegal kidnapping” and thus started a new bracelet with the administration of Nicolás Maduro. The version given by Gómez García is contrasted hard by the Venezuelan regime. “As it hurt, it hurt,” he launched Diosdado CabelloMinister of Interior and one of its spokesmen, on December 17. “It hurt them because it came to fulfill a mission and we have given a hard blow,” ensuring that Gallo was a spy sent by the government of Javier Milei.
Since then, it is estimated that Gallo is illegally detained in an intelligence base in Tachira, while Venezuelans refuse to give any track. Griselda Heredia, Mother of the Argentine Gendarme detained, cried out for his release and said that the family feels “terror” for the possibility that the government of Nicolás Maduro exercises “reprisals” against his son in the midst of geopolitical tension with the United States for military deployment in the Caribbean Sea.
“When President Milei joined Trump, I thought Maduro could retaliate against Nahuel. That is my greatest fear. It is very hard,” said the lady in an interview to the media and added: “It was a very important message. God wants this as long as before. We are living with a deep sadness.” We love him so much.
Since his arrest, his exact whereabouts are unknown. However, in January of this year the Venezuelan authorities disseminated images of the Argentine. He is seen dressed in Celeste in the middle of a patio with two other men. Months ago, the United Nations carried out an extensive report in which the situation of other foreign political prisoners captured by the Bolivarian regime is denounced.
