Asunción: Colorado Party MP Derlis Maidana (HC) called for the establishment of a commission to investigate the alleged links between Hugo Velázquez and the terrorist organization Hezbollah.
Unfortunately, Maidana forgot that Hugo Velázquez himself was a member of Honor Colorado from mid-2011 to March 2017 and therefore met with Hezbollah leaders on behalf of this movement in Lebanon. Blaming the organizer of the trip as the culprit here would mean making HC responsible for it. Also, one has to wonder why Honor Colorado waited 7 years to report this. Political opportunity could not be ruled out.
“We are not an investigative body, but as a state power, I believe that given such a serious fact, we must be duly informed, as has happened in several cases,” Maidana told the media.
Senator Enrique Riera also questioned the links between Vice-President Hugo Velázquez and Iranian extremist leaders, more specifically the Hezbollah group, which the United States, the European Union and several other countries, including our country, consider a sponsor of global terrorism becomes.
In 2015, Vice President of the Republic of Paraguay Hugo Velázquez traveled to Lebanon as Speaker of the House of Representatives and representative of Honor Colorado to meet with political and religious leaders of the powerful Islamic movement Hezbollah, although he later denied this on numerous occasions.
