A very strange mystery has developed in the last two days surrounding the GRAT ¨Group de reaccion y apoyo tactico¨ of the Presidential Palace. This group is an elite group of soldiers in charge of protecting the President and it leaked that 40 members of that group had been brought out of the Presidential Palace handcuffed and taken to prison.
According to the Minister of the Interior, who appears to continue to be the Minister of Information, the group had a problem with discipline and had been infiltrated. The Minister said the group had been making corruption charges against members of the Casa Militar, which protest the President. The Minister said that there was nothing to two of the charges as in one case the car was cheaper (??) and in the other that the soldier had proof of purchase (??). Clearly, Minister Chacon has a very simplistic way of explaining away corruption.
The big question is? Is there more to this than meets the eye? Is it referendum related? Nobody knows…
