The area of ​​Caracas where the explosions occurred could be quietly reached on Sunday, near the presidential stage where Nicolás Maduro was on Saturday and which the defense minister described as an "assassination attempt". Without a security cordon or security police, the curious approached to see the black spot in one of the nearby buildings and exchanged impressions while dismantling the platform.

In the rest of the city and the country, in spite of the serious affirmation of President Nicolás Maduro - "today they have tried to assassinate me," he said on television and radio after the incident.

The discussions about Saturday's events concentrated on analyzing the veracity of the attack; In no city did Chavismo go out into the streets to show their support for Maduro.

Minister of defense Vladimir Padrino

With the exception of a communiqué read directly by Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino, ensuring the unrestricted loyalty of the National Armed Forces to the Venezuelan leader, the government was timid in its "day after" reaction.

Minister of the Interior and Justice Nestor Reverol

In the afternoon an explanation to the diplomatic corps, which shortly before offered the Minister of Interior and Justice Nestor Reverol, giving the most accurate details about the attack.

This claimed that the detonations came from two M-600 type drones loaded with C4, an explosive material that is activated through an electric drive and that would not have achieved the objective of impacting the president, having lost contact with those who controlled them.

"One of the aircraft flew over the presidential gallery in order to remotely activate the explosive substance, but thanks to the techniques of the Presidential Honor Guard and the installation of signal inhibiting equipment, the drone was disoriented," Reverol explained. The other drone lost control in the approaches of the event and fell into a building called Don Eduardo, returning to level 1. " That was the black spot seen by passersby who passed by the place yesterday.

There are six people detained, allegedly related to the case. Reverol did not offer details of their names, nor images of the destroyed drones.

Great doubts in the town

A large part of Venezuelans wonder if what happened would not have been prepared by the regime itself. It is not the first time that Maduro - and before Hugo Chávez - denounces a frustrated assassination, but it is the first time that there is evidence that an incident occurred. In the two videos broadcast the surprise and confusion in the box of authorities is perceived when a military parade was held on the Bolivar Avenue in Caracas on Saturday afternoon to mark the anniversary of the founding of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB).

Personal opinion

Regarding my part because there are many variables, ok we think it is true and that a failed attempt was made what is surprising is how fast and effective to know the faces of the guilty photo, names their aliases, addresses, hobbies and even that they did years ago something that seems false to me.

It was question of 1 hour the diffusion of this photo giving the culprits, that marvels the intelligence of my country "there is not in the world better body of investigation".

For me it was just a car bomb to start the "witch hunt" and return to political persecution.

Blaming Colombia and the US seems very serious without having enough evidence to say such accusations, I really feel that the people who advise Maduro do it in a very bad way should be more serious when it comes to advising him with something like that and part of the very naive to accept and share with Venezuela.

If true, it is a serious act and if it is false it is a macabre act to seek to remain in power.
