The Government of Javier Milei denounced today before the International Criminal Court (CPI) the arbitrary detention and forced disappearance of the gendarme Nahuel Gallokidnapped since last December 8 by the dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.
According to the official statement from the Foreign Ministry, the complaint included a direct mention of the Venezuelan attorney general, Tarek William Saabwho defended the regime’s decision regarding Gallo’s situation and, interviewed by Infobaeassured that the Argentine participated in “conspiratorial actions against the republican peace.”
In its presentation before the CPI, the Argentine administration described the kidnapping of the gendarme as a “serious and flagrant violation of human rights” and framed it within an alleged “systematic pattern of crimes against humanity, which are being committed in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which are clearly under the jurisdiction of the ICC.”
Gallo’s case is one of the foreign policy priorities of the Argentine government, which reiterated that “all legal and diplomatic resources” available will be used with the aim of guaranteeing the rights of the Argentine gendarme and “demanding justice at the international level.” .
Last weekend, the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, once again complained about Gallo’s situation, he described Tarek William Saab of “criminal and anti-Semitic”and rejected the version of a “conspiracy” against the dictatorship led by Maduro.
“It’s one lie after another. They gather hostages to protect themselves from their own fears. Countries where people live in freedom do not need to collect hostages,” said the official in statements to this medium.
And he added: “The Gendarmerie has rules for when an employee leaves the country: present a telephone number, an address and a health system; presents it in person and obtains permission. This criminal says that you should notify when police personnel arrive, that is a big justifying lie. “He’s not going to a police exercise or going on a study exchange, he’s going to visit his son and his girlfriend.”
The Venezuelan attorney general was interviewed exclusively by Infobae. He is one of the most important leaders of the Chavista dictatorship, along with Maduro, Diosdado Hair, Jorge Rodríguez and the generalissimo Vladimir Godfather López. In his role, for more than seven years he has provided the legal framework to a regime that is accused of the worst human rights violations in the world.
In the report, Saab insisted that Nahuel Gallo was arrested for participating in an alleged “conspiracy” of international scope and questioned the argument that he actually traveled to visit his partner. “That was the alibi that he wanted to see a girlfriend. Well, the bride could have gone to Buenos Aires, sir. But it’s all of them. Look: the Mexican, the American, the Peruvians, the Colombians, the Spanish say they came to see their girlfriends, including the Argentine. “Really, huh?” he said.
Regarding the chancellor Gerardo WertheinArgentine citizen who professes the Jewish religion, Tarek Saab He had offensive comments, with a clear anti-Semitic tinge. “The Chancellor, in an infamous act that will go down in the history of ignominy, swore, instead of swearing before the Constitution of Argentina, he swore before the Torah something that, honestly, even the most recalcitrant opponent anywhere in the world, would swear. felt offended. Because? Because he is Argentine, sir. If you want to be chancellor of Israel, go and do it.” These statements were severely criticized by the Argentine government.
