Sputnik International CARACAS (Sputnik) – The protests in Caracas after Sunday’s presidential election are definitely financed by the United States, which has its own interests in Venezuela and sponsors the country’s opposition, a member of the delegation of Russian observers, who is also the Russian parliament’s lower house member, Alexey Volotskov, told Sputnik.
“Of course, this is definitely funding from abroad, and such radical views of young, hooligan-minded people who may be looking for economic gain in this matter â to take some property, break something and steal, probably all this is multiplied,” Volotskov said.
“Today, from the windows of our hotel, we saw how protesters caught up with a policeman on a motorcycle, knocked him down, took the motorcycle, and rode away on it. This once again proves that there is also a property and economic component here, that is, people in these riots are trying to find some kind of economic use for themselves. Robbery and banditry, multiplied by support, slogans and financing â there is nothing to hide â of the American state, which has its own interests here and finances both the opposition and the riots that we are currently witnessing, being in Venezuela, in Caracas,” the Russian lawmaker and observer added.
Manifestations of extremism in Venezuela after the elections are a staged action and are not capable of influencing the electoral process, Volotskov added.
