Putschversuch in Caracas

Die Vorwürfe gegen die venezolanische Oppositionspolitikerin betreffen auch deutsche Stellen. Machado ist im vergangenen Jahr mit ihrer 2012 gegründeten Partei „Vente Venezuela“ („Komm, Venezuela!“) dem Netzwerk RELIAL („Red Liberal de América Latina“) beigetreten. RELIAL ist im Jahr 2004 auf Initiative und mit Unterstützung der FDP-nahen Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung gegründet worden und umfasst zur Zeit 39 Organisationen aus 17 Ländern Lateinamerikas. Die Mitglieder des Netzwerks, als dessen offizielle Kontaktadresse die Außenstelle der Naumann-Stiftung in Ciudad de México fungiert, stufen sich als „liberal“ ein. Einige von ihnen haben in den vergangenen Jahren Umstürze organisiert oder sich an Umsturzversuchen beteiligt, die sich gegen demokratisch gewählte Regierungen richteten.
