Ending the abundant rumors from last week, Lilian Tintori, Leopoldo López’s wife, says he is well,
Jailed opposition Venezuelan politician Leopoldo Lopez is well and is urging street demonstrators to keep up massive anti-government protests, his wife said on Sunday after her first visit with the former presidential hopeful in over a month, putting to rest rumors of his ill health.
“Let’s go. We can’t stop until we achieve our freedom. I’m on the streets with you, in mind and spirit, and if I were there, I’d go first.”
Vamos. No podemos parar hasta lograr nuestra libertad. Sigo en la calle con ustedes, en mente y espíritu y de estar allí iría de primero

López also urges the military to “disobey illegal and unjust orders,”
Soldado venezolano: la Constitución y el pueblo te protegerán si decides desobedecer órdenes ilegales e injustas

The regime should, but won’t, allow López to be seen by the general public.
