Minister delivers video of Maduro and Paraguayan militaries

Paraguay's Defense Minister María Liz García disclosed on Tuesday a video of the meeting presumably held between Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolás Maduro and Paraguayan military officers on June 22, just before the dismissal of President Fernando Lugo.

In a brief press conference, the minister reported that Paraguayan President Federico Franco, the successor of Fernando Lugo that same day, instructed her to deliver to the press copies of the recording that shows the attendants arriving at and leaving the meeting. Some days ago, García accused Maduro of stirring up revolt in the Paraguayan army in defense of deposed Lugo, Efe cited.

"I am sure that (copies of the film) will be given to the appropriate authorities," the minister said, referring to the Attorney General Office.
