The FARC leader Alfonso Cano may soon be treated at the San Cristóbal Central Hospital in Venezuela’s Táchira department. The Venezuelan politicians, Leomagno Flores, Abelardo Díaz and Homero Ruiz, have come forward to say that is the real motive why the Venezuelan Health Ministry has been equipping the hospital.
