The Government continues tangling itself in lies in the case of the Foreign Minister of Colombian terrorist group FARC. We have gone from ignorance about the possibility that Mr. Granda was in Venezuela or kidnapped in Venezuela to accusations about bounty hunters kidnapping Granda in broad daylight.

How efficient no? Even today, the Government continues to deny that it knew about Granda’s invitation, participation presence in the II Bolivarian Congress, while overwhelming evidence shows that they had to know.
