What happened to Maria Oropeza?

On the night of August 6, 2024, María Oropeza, coordinator of Machado’s campaign command in the state of Portuguesa, spread through her Instagram account the moment when Officers from the Military Counterintelligence Directorate (DGCIM) knock and force open the door to enter his house.

“They are entering my home arbitrarily, there is no search warrant. They are destroying the door, I really ask for help, I ask for help from everyone I can. “I’m not a criminal, I’m just another citizen who wants a different country,” says Oropeza before the broadcast goes black.

Maria Oropeza had criticized the regime’s operations

Hours earlier, the collaborator had criticized the so-called Operation Tun Tun of the DGCIM, which enabled a telephone line to report cases of physical or virtual “hatred” in the midst of the measures that have been taken in response to the mobilizations unleashed after the presidential elections of July 28, which the opposition denounces as fraudulent.
