| Subject: Fugitive Venezuelan Pilot Makes Brazen Public Appearance Fri Jul 14, 2017 10:26 pm | |
| Venezuelan authorities have been hunting for Óscar Pérez since late last month after he claimed that he had been involved in a brazen — and bizarre — attack on two government buildings in Caracas, the capital.
On Thursday night, Mr. Pérez, a former police officer who said he had piloted a stolen helicopter used in the attack, made an audacious public appearance at an opposition rally in the capital, surrounded by a small number of masked supporters.
“It’s time for this narco-government to fall on July 18,” Mr. Pérez said in a brief interview.
He then urged Venezuelans to vote on Sunday in a symbolic referendum organized by the opposition-led National Assembly in response to President Nicolás Maduro’s plans to change the country’s Constitution.
