«Está detenido y hablando muy bien, es bilingüe»: la burla del número 2 del chavismo sobre un dirigente opositor secuestrado
El exdiputado opositor del partido venezolano Voluntad Popular Freddy Superlano, cuyo paradero sigue siendo desconocido después de haber sido «secuestrado» hace dos días, se encuentra «detenido y hablando muy bien». Con esas palabras, el número 2 del chavismo se burló sobre las condiciones en las que el dirigente antichavista se encuentra retenido por el régimen de Venezuela.
«Está detenido y hablando muy bien, es bilingüe», ironizó el primer vicepresidente del gobernante Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV), considerado en la inmediata línea sucesoria de Nicolás Maduro, en su programa semanal ‘Con el mazo dando’, transmitido por el canal estatal VTV.
Cabello no ofreció más detalles sobre la situación actual de Superlano, quien fue detenido el martes junto con su asistente Renso Salinas y el chófer Rafael García, por «funcionarios encapuchados», según denunció entonces el partido Vente Venezuela (VV).
Plataforma Unitaria Democrática (PUD) -el principal bloque opositor-, varios de los partidos y dirigentes que integran esta coalición, y familiares del exdiputado, realizaron peticiones para conocer el paradero del exdiputado, reconocido opositor al Gobierno de Nicolás Maduro.
La esposa de Superlano, Aurora Silva, aseguró el miércoles que desconoce el paradero del antichavista, así como de Salinas y García, pese a que ya recorrió «todos los centros de detención (en Caracas) buscando información y exigiendo una fe de vida» de los detenidos.
Silva señaló que acudió a las sedes del Servicio Bolivariano de Inteligencia (Sebin), así como a la Policía Nacional Bolivariana (PNB), donde se limitaron a informarle que Superlano, Salinas y García no se encontraban allí.
Voluntad Popular -el movimiento del cual Superlano es coordinador político- señaló en X que después de tantas horas pasadas desde la detención del exdiputado siguen desconociendo su estado de salud, por lo que desde sus filas exigieron «acceso de inmediato para corroborar su integridad física».
Voluntad Popular aseguró que Superlano fue «secuestrado», al tiempo que alertó a la comunidad internacional sobre «la escalada represiva de la dictadura de (el presidente) Nicolás Maduro contra los activistas de la causa democrática», tras las elecciones en las que el Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) dio por ganador al mandatario chavista, un resultado ampliamente cuestionado.

South Korean PM Han Duck-soo reinstated as acting president after impeachment overturned
- South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached on Dec. 14 after declaring martial law. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo then became the country’s acting leader before being impeached himself.
- The country’s Constitutional Court overturned Han’s impeachment, reinstating the nation’s No. 2 official as acting leader on Monday.
- The unprecedented, successive impeachments of the country’s top two officials intensified domestic divisions. Massive rival rallies backing or denouncing Yoon have divided the streets of Seoul and other major cities in South Korea.
South Korea’s Constitutional Court overturned the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, reinstating the nation’s No. 2 official as acting leader Monday while not yet ruling on the separate impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol over his shocking imposition of martial law in December.
Many observers said the 7-1 ruling in Han’s case did not signal much about the upcoming verdict on Yoon, as Han wasn’t a key figure in imposing martial law. But the ruling could still embolden Yoon’s staunch supporters and ramp up their political offensive on the opposition.
Speaking with reporters following his reinstatement, Han thanked the court for what he called «a wise decision» and promised to focus on tackling «urgent matters,» including a fast-changing global trade environment, in an apparent reference to the Trump administration’s aggressive tariffs policy. He also called for national unity, saying: «There’s no left or right — what matters is the advancement of our nation.»

South Korea has been thrown into political turmoil since Yoon, a conservative, declared martial law on Dec. 3 and sent hundreds of troops to the liberal opposition-controlled National Assembly and other places in Seoul. Yoon’s decree lasted only six hours as enough lawmakers managed to enter an assembly hall where they quickly voted down the decree.
The impeachment arguments
The assembly impeached Yoon on Dec. 14, alleging he violated the Constitution and other laws by suppressing assembly activities and trying to detain politicians. Yoon’s impeachment made Han acting president until he was impeached in late December.
The unprecedented, successive impeachments that suspended the country’s top two officials intensified domestic division and deepened worries about South Korea’s diplomatic and economic activities.

A major trigger for the opposition’s push to impeach Han was his refusal to fill three vacant seats at the Constitutional Court’s nine-member bench. That was a highly explosive issue because the court needed support from at least six justices to approve Yoon’s impeachment and filling its empty posts could make such a decision more likely.
After Han was suspended, his successor as acting president, Choi Sang-mok, appointed two new justices but left the ninth seat vacant.
Han was also accused in the impeachment motion of abetting Yoon’s martial law declaration and obstructing efforts to open independent investigations into Yoon’s alleged rebellion in connection with his martial law decree.
On Monday, seven of the Constitutional Court’s eight justices ruled to overturn or dismiss Han’s impeachment. They ruled that his alleged actions weren’t against the law or weren’t serious enough to remove him from office or his impeachment motion didn’t even meet a required quorum when it passed through the assembly. One justice upheld Han’s impeachment.
The main liberal opposition Democratic Party expressed regret over the court’s decision to reinstate Han and urged it to dismiss Yoon quickly. Yoon’s office welcomed Monday’s ruling, saying it shows again the opposition’s repeated uses of impeachment motions were «reckless, malicious political offensive.»
What’s next?
Observers earlier had predicted the Constitutional Court would rule on Yoon’s case in mid-March, but it hasn’t done so, sparking varied speculation on possible reasons.
«Today’s verdict will give hope to Yoon’s supporters for a similar fate and hope for Yoon’s opponents for his ouster,» said Duyeon Kim, a senior analyst at the Center for a New American Security in Washington. «But it’s too soon to predict the court’s verdict on Yoon because the specific details of both cases and allegations are different.»
Kim said the reinstatement of Han, a career bureaucrat, will bring more stability to South Korea compared to when his powers as acting president were suspended.
Massive rival rallies backing or denouncing Yoon have divided the streets of Seoul and other major cities in South Korea. Earlier surveys showed that a majority of South Koreans were critical of Yoon’s martial law enactment, but those supporting or sympathizing with Yoon have later gained strength.
Yoon argues that his martial law introduction was a desperate attempt to bring attention to the «wickedness» of the Democratic Party which obstructed his agenda and filed many impeachment motions against senior officials. Yoon critics counter he likely tried to use military rule to frustrate possible special investigations into scandals involving him and his wife.

Senior military and police officers sent to the assembly have said that Yoon ordered them to drag out lawmakers to prevent a floor vote to overturn his decree. Yoon says the troops’ deployment was designed to maintain order.
If the court upholds Yoon’s impeachment, South Korea must hold a presidential election to choose his successor. If it rules for him, Yoon will regain his presidential powers.
Yoon has separately been charged with directing rebellion, a charge that carries the death penalty or a life sentence if he is convicted.
