Days after the May 20th attack, Orlando's mother & father did not yet know he would die from extensive injuries. Psychological trauma made it difficult speak with him, he suffered a lot in the days leading up to his death, recalling the attack by the opposition-paid guarimbas.pic.twitter.com/Ql1G9VsPtu

Orlando Figuera was a victim of right-wing terrorism planned and financed by Venezuela's fascist opposition. They are the exact same fascists today, as they were in May of 2017. There can be absolutely no white-washing of this heinous act.pic.twitter.com/bq3VLHoLcd

Following his death,
#OrlandoFiguera’s father, also named Orlando Figuera, made a call to the terrorists of the opposition MUD, particularly to it’s criminal leaders Julio Borges, Henrique Capriles Radonski and Freddy Guevara who regularly paid the guarimbas: Stop the violence.pic.twitter.com/ZPk7mQeQXLShow this thread
