There is an open secret in “El Callejón” neighborhood in the city of Cucuta (Colombia) that is stronger than any cautious act. Nicolás Maduro Moros lived in the house 8-98 at times. The neighbors know that in there linger, as ghosts, some of the keys to understand how far the Colombian roots of the Venezuelan president go. Some whisper their theories; most of them keep quiet about their certainties. The house was put under the care of the president’s cousin, who rents it to strangers.
