Caracas, 10 May. AVN.- Spokespeople of the opposition electoral umbrella group MUD held meetings in the United States and Colombia with the aim to plan destabilizing actions in Venezuela, reported the host of a talk show in local television, Mario Silva.

Silva said right-wing presidential candidate Henrique Capriles held a second meeting in Colombia on Wednesday with representatives of transnational firm Pacific Rubiales -in which works former president of Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA, Luis Giusti- and with a former representative of Venezuelan right-wing sector Alberto Federico Ravell.

Last month of March, Silva reported that Capriles had held a first meeting with Ravell and representatives of the oil company Pacific Rubiales. In that opportunity, Silva reported, Capriles would had arrived in an aircraft with the US registration number N455BK.

"Those gentlemen met again with Pacific Rubiales, which had promised 30 million dollars and also some businesspeople close to (dormer Colombian president Alvaro) Uribe Velez," he claimed.

Nowadays, Venezuelan and Colombian authorities investigate the alleged connection between drug lords and Alberto Federico Ravell, who used to be president of private Venezuelan TV channel Globovision and now owns Colombian channel Cablenoticias.

Simultaneously with the meeting in Colombia, general secretary of opposition party AD, Henry Ramos Allup, met with journalist Patricia Poleo, former banker Eligio Cedeño and former magistrate Eladio Aponte.

Allup's meeting with these fugitives from Venezuela's justice would had taken place in Poleo's house in Miami, United States.

Silva added that it worths wondering where does resources to fund the MUD come from. "We would have to make an investigation. Where are the gentlemen of the opposition getting their dollars?"

Patricia Poleo is wanted by Venezuela's justice for her alleged connivance with the murder of prosecutor Danilo Andeson, who investigated the coup d'état staged against President Hugo Chavez on April 2002.

Eladio Aponte Aponte was accused of giving government credentials to drug lord Walid Makled. Interpol issued an international red notice for his arrest.

Since 2005, Eligio Cedeno stands indicted in Venezuela and is wanted for allegedly stealing funds from account holders, fraudulently obtaining U.S. dollars from Venezuela's foreign currency administrative agency and aggravated contraband.

"A plot has began. An open process, strong because the MUD knows they are lost" for the upcoming presidential elections in Venezuela, said Mario Silva.
