Caracas, November 1 - This Wednesday at nine o'clock in the evening, when he was going to his house in the La Palma sector, Nueva Bolivia, Mérida, Comrade Luis Fajardo was assassinated.
Luis Fajardo was traveling on a motorbike for his residence with his brother-in-law.
Both were killed with a burst of shots fired from a moving vehicle. The national leadership of the PCV (Communist Party of Venezuela) reported the threat to Fajardo's life countless times, without the authorities dismantling the assassin device or adopting any measure of protection.

Comrades, they finish informing us that yesterday, at nine o'clock at night, when he was going to his house in the La Palma sector, New Bolivia, Merida State, our comrade Luis Fajardo was murdered.
Comrade Luís Fajardo was traveling on a motorbike for his residence with his brother-in-law. Both were killed with a burst of shots fired from a moving vehicle.
The National Directorate of the PCV denounced the threat to Fajardo's life countless times, without the authorities dismantling the assassin device or adopting any protection measures.
We are responsible for the murder of our comrade the landowners of the south of the Lake, members of the National Guard and corrupt politicians who publicly threatened him.
We demand from the national government an exhaustive investigation and exemplary punishment of the assassins.
We must move on to a campaign of denunciations of this assassination against a communist and combative national cadre of the Venezuelan peasantry.

Dear Oscar Figuera,
Maduro doesn't give a shit about you, your party, your campesinos, or anyone else who can't keep him flush with US dollars. Maduro and the rest of the Chavista cupola care only about staying in power and keeping his Andorran bank accounts fat. You served your purpose when voting mattered. Now, your support isn't needed, as voting and democracy is an anachronism in Venezuela.
So, Mr. Figuera, you are best served by going back to the hovel you crawled out of and just pour yourself a steaming hot cup of STFU. Unless you want to end up like Luis Fajardo as a smear on the side of some side street.
Sincerely and in Bolivarian brotherhood,
Nicolas Maduro Moro
