A Venezuela-born man, now living in Trent Hills says the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro by the United States in early January is a distraction from the release of the Jeffery Epstein files.

Emilio Ojeda, says he is not optimistic that any real change will come from the capture of Maduro, believing the illegitimate government is still in power and will continue its oppressive ways.

Maduro was arrested Jan. 3 accused of trafficking drugs to the U.S, leaving the ruling party’s Vice President in charge of the government.

Ojeda says the situation in Venezuela will worsen before it gets better.
