Yesterday on July 24th 1960 the president of Venezuela, Rómulo Betancourt, was severely injured in an attempted assassination. Betancourt started any other day by going around the city in his car, however he did not know that someone had put a bomb in it. Pedestrians who saw the incident happened thought that he was dead. When medical personal got to him he was alive, but had to be rushed to the hospital. The question on everyone’s mind in Venezuela is who could have done this? Well it was no other the our president himself, Jefe Trujillo.
Trujillo has made it perfectly clear that ever since Betancourt got the OAS (Organization of American States) involved with the way he dictates he has been out to get Betancourt. There were always rumors that he wanted to kill Betancourt, but now the rumors have become fact. That’s right, Trujillo actually acted on something he said he would do. Yes I know it shocked me too. No charges have been announced against Trujillo yet but I have a feeling that will not last once when Betancourt becomes well.
As for right now the whole world seems to be against Trujillo for what he attempted to do. They are now all questioning his power. Not only the world but worse the OAS, who “now voted unanimously to serve diplomatic relations with Trujillo’s government” a Venezuela reporter told us.
Little yet is known for how long they will be involved. Or even if the will be coming to the Dominican Republic for a personal visit. But this is for sure, no one in the Dominican Republic is happy with Trujillo, no one is Venezuela is happy with Trujillo and no one in the world either. So my question is, how long until a bomb goes into his car?
