Carvajal revealed links between Taiana and the illegal financing of Chavismo to Kirchnerism

The former Venezuelan military intelligence chief, Hugo “El Pollo” Carvajal, has once again shaken the Argentine political scene with the release of internal documents from the Chavista regime confirming that Hugo Chávez illegally financed Kirchnerism.

Among the evidence revealed is an agreement signed by then foreign ministers Nicolás Maduro and Jorge Taiana, together with representatives from Iran and China, for the creation of 200 “socialist factories” in Venezuelan and Argentine territory. The project, presented as a productive cooperation plan, actually functioned as a platform to channel political funds and strengthen Chavismo's network of influence in Latin America.

Jorge Taiana, then foreign minister and now the main Kirchnerist candidate in Buenos Aires province, worked in close coordination with Nicolás Maduro, who held the same position as Jorge. Sharing the Bolivarian agenda of socialist integration, they sought to unite Caracas, Buenos Aires, Tehran, and Beijing under a single ideological axis.

This new evidence adds to that already reported by La Derecha Diario: Carvajal, extradited to the United States in 2023 and currently cooperating with the U.S. justice system, pleaded guilty to charges of drug trafficking and narco-terrorism, acknowledging his role in the Cartel of the Suns, an organization that used the structures of the Venezuelan state to traffic cocaine to North America.

During his confession before the Southern District Court of New York, Carvajal admitted that the state oil company PDVSA was used to send cash to left-wing political movements, including the Kirchners in Argentina, through diplomatic suitcases coordinated by Tareck El Aissami, former Interior Minister and close collaborator of the narco-dictator Nicolás Maduro.

The documentation provided to European and U.S. justice authorities includes records of transfers, diplomatic communications, and copies of agreements signed between the countries involved, with special participation of Jorge Taiana as Argentine foreign minister. These detail the creation of “socialist cooperation centers” among Venezuela, Argentina, Iran, and China, a network that foreshadowed the later alliance with the Iranian regime even before the controversial “memorandum with Iran” that today legally complicates Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

Carvajal, considered one of the most informed men in Chavismo, stated that Venezuela became a narco-government and that political financing was part of a continental strategy to expand the influence of 21st-century socialism. The direct connection between Chavismo and Kirchnerism, now backed by official documentation, once again puts Jorge Taiana, a central figure of Fuerza Patria, under scrutiny, the group aligned behind Cristina Kirchner and Axel Kicillof.

Meanwhile, in Caracas, they are trying to downplay the revelations, while in Buenos Aires the silence of Kirchnerism is deafening. The documents delivered by Carvajal expose an unprecedented system of corruption and international complicity, confirming the use of drug trafficking and Venezuelan oil funds to sustain the political power of Kirchnerism and its alliance with authoritarian regimes around the world.
