Chavista "colectivos" (redshirts) attack again. This time a press outlet.

Police stop attack of violent groups to headquarters of The New Country
NOVEMBER 12, 2017 Author: MARIA LAURA CHANG | @MARILACHANG

Translated from Spanish

"Hours of suspense live workers of the newspaper El Nuevo País the night of this Sunday, November 12. Around 50 people were grouped in a threatening manner in front of the newspaper's headquarters, in the San Agustín sector of the Libertador Municipality of Caracas, presumably with the intention of entering the newsroom.

This was reported through his account on Twitter (@enpaiszeta). Approximately at 6:30 in the afternoon they published the first message: Urgent! At least 50 collectivos invade at this time, seat of El Nuevo Pais in the sector San Agustín, in the municipality Libertador of Caracas.

Subsequently, they reported that officials of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) and the Bolivarian National Police (PNB) came to the scene to mediate with the attackers.

According to what they reflected in the tweets, people wanted to enter the building and had a grinder to open the bars and a "patecabra" (iron lever).

In the middle, they assure that the violent groups waited for a "orders from above" to continue with the taking of the seat, but the GNP still keeps the site.

The informants also pointed out that these groups covered the name of the El Nuevo País headquarters with a banner of the National Constituent Assembly.

At 8:14 pm, about 20 remained in the vicinity despite the presence of a police patrol.

The "national police" arrived... to mediate? These people were breaking into private property, and there were police there to discuss their issues? And the only reason these Chavista colectivos stopped was because they were waiting for further orders from their superiors? Who? Vlad Padrino?

No arrests?
