The Venezuelan authorities have retained the flight in which there had to return to Spain 36 national police officers who were guarding the repatriation of Spanish delinquents. As Libertad Digital could have known, they had to go out in a military flight that had all the permissions in rule.

Nevertheless, in the moment in which the Spanish pílotos were going to tackle the flight, in accordance with the established plan, Venezuela refused the authorization alleging a series of technical reasons. The Spanish Confederacy of Police officer, which is in contact with the retained agents, has confirmed to this newspaper that the police officers belonging to the Judicial Police and to the unit of antidisturbances, were moved to a few military facilities where they hope in a few barracks that it should be allowed to return to Spain. It seems that this permission might happen at 14:00, according to the national schedule.

In this sense, the police officers are very annoying with this situation and think that this decision has taken place due to “a political tantrum” of the Government of Hugo Chávez before the car of the National Hearing who accuses to Venezuela of collaborating with ETA and the FARC. This way, they believe that under the pretext of the technical problems they try to make his annoyance clear for the criticism of Venezula. Although they affirm that they are well, they have his movements restricted on having been in military facilities.

Sources of Location consulted for esRadio said that it is one more “provocation of Caracas and points at a deterioration of the relations between Spain and Venezuela”.

In this moment, the phones of the police officers are extinguished by what the worry spends because or they are having problems for comuncarse or because they could be sleeping, since now it is got in ahead in Venezuela. For it, from the CEP they have asked the Executive whom it should operate with the “maxim that it deals” to solve the situation. Also, they add that the incident is more worrying due to the few ones “juridical guarantees” that, according to the CEP, exist in Venezuela.
