Hours after Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro’s security guards and Institutional Security Office (GSI) agents attacked journalists during a press conference on Tuesday night (30), federal deputy Gustavo Gayer (PL-GO) asked the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) to prevent the delegation from leaving the country.

According to the parliamentarian, the delegation must respond to the crime of aggression against journalist Delis Ortiz, from TV Globo, who was hit in the chest.

“I have just filed a request with the PGR so that Maduro’s entourage is prevented from leaving Brazil until they respond for the crime of aggression against a Brazilian journalist. Representatives of another nation cannot commit a crime on our soil, against our people, and get away with it,” Gayer said in the social media early this Wednesday (31).

From the aggression against press professionals, representative entities of the sector and parliamentarians repudiated the violence. Maduro was received in Brazil with honors by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) to participate in the Summit of South America, in Brasília.
