Venezuela's Lilian Tintori Admits Her NGO Works With Paramilitaries
September 26, 2019
Despite the word ‘paramilitary’ sounding and meaning the same thing in Spanish (paramilitares), Tintori later issued a statement arguing that it was a language “mistake.”
Venezuelan Lilian Tintori, wife of U.S.-backed opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, admitted publicly Tuesday during the 2019 Concordia Americas Summit in New York that her NGO ‘Rescue Venezuela’ knowingly work and deal with paramilitaries and irregular groups.
“Our foundation is in the capacity to have humanitarian aid camps in each [Venezuelan] state. And the people who help us do this are people who are in those states and are irregular and paramilitary groups,” Tintori clearly said while talking about her non-governmental organization.
However, due to the gravity of the declarations, the well-known opposition figure later issued a statement arguing that it was a “mistake” due to her lack of knowledge of English, despite the word ‘paramilitary’ sounding and meaning the same thing in Spanish (paramilitares).
