Bladimir Humberto Lugo Armas (born 18 November 1968)[1][2] is a brigadier general of the Venezuelan National Guard. By 2017, he was the commander of the unit of this force that guarded the Federal Legislative Palace, the government buildings of Venezuela.
On 29 June 2017, he was decorated by President Nicolás Maduro with the order of the Cross of the Presidential Guard.[3] In light of human rights abuses against journalists, Venezuelan opposition politicians, and political opponents of Maduro, Lugo is currently subject to international sanctions from countries including the United States, Canada, and Panama.
