In the newly-posted video, Oscar Perez, an officer in the country's investigative police force, delivered a statement saying, "We are not assassins, like you, Mr. Nicolas Maduro; Like you, Diosdado Cabello, who every day bring sorrow to Venezuelan homes." Cabello is the vice president of Maduro's party, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, or PSUV. In the video uploaded to YouTube, Perez stands in front of the Venezuelan flag and says the assault on June 27 went "perfectly" to plan. "We want to clarify that the actions taken on the 27 (June) were perfectly achieved in the first phase where we only damaged structures such as the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court. We had no collateral damage because that was the plan, we are not assassins," unlike, he asserts, Maduro and his deputy.
