UCV Student Leaders Denounce Attempted Sabotage of Humanitarian Aid Center

Student leaders at Venezuela's Central University (UCV) have denounced what they describe as an attempted sabotage aimed at shutting down a vital humanitarian aid collection center. Miguelángel Suárez, president of the Federation of University Centers (FCU-UCV), reported the discovery of irregularities at the aid center located in the university's Tropical Medicine building.

The incident involved a woman found inside the facility carrying a fake medical prescription. Suárez highlighted that this same individual had previously been identified in official activities alongside Jorge Rodríguez, the president of the National Assembly. This connection has fueled suspicions among student representatives.

There is a clear intention of the regime to sabotage the work of the UCV to find an excuse to close the collection center, damaging the efforts after the earthquake of June 24. It is not understood how, in such complicated times, they seek to stop those who only want to help.

According to the FCU-UCV, the presence of this individual is part of a deliberate strategy to manufacture an administrative or police justification for closing the collection point. Suárez stated that the regime is clearly intending to sabotage the UCV's efforts and find an excuse to shut down the center, thereby damaging the crucial work being done in the wake of the June 24 earthquake.

In response to this alleged attempt to obstruct aid, the student leadership has called upon citizens and civil society organizations to join in safeguarding the university facilities. Their aim is to ensure the continued operation of the center, which is responsible for receiving, sorting, and distributing essential supplies to those affected by the recent seismic events.

Ucevistas, Caraqueños and Venezuelans: the only way to defend our collection center is by joining the initiative and actively participating in helping those affected. The UCV will not abandon you!
