Caracas, July 29 (RHC)-- The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, denounced this Monday the acts of violence as part of the coup attempt in the country, by the Venezuelan extreme right in the face of the non-recognition of the electoral results.
“We have witnessed a series of events, more than 100 violent, terrorist attacks,” he stressed while blaming the extreme right for Monday's attacks.
“This is the result of a plan that I have been denouncing. They participated to use the electoral campaign and make the commandos to articulate criminal groups,” said Maduro and denounced that behind this plan is the United States Government.
“Behind this plan are the gringos. They have always been there. Before, during and after Guaidó. Made in USA. They are plans and they lived this plan working.” “Using the electoral process to harm you. They live off permanent damage. This group is a fascist group, a violent, fascist and criminal counterrevolution,” he said.
The president noted that almost 90 percent of those captured are highly addicted to drugs and have weapons, while he said that instructions have been given to go in search and capture of the groups.
“In large part they are criminal groups, with precise orders of where to attack. They are trying to take this point to start an escalation of guarimba and we will not allow it,” stressed Nicolás Maduro.
The Venezuelan leader warned that some people do not know “that these people have a violent plan, a so-called color revolution again, a conspiracy and an escalation of violence to go and kill people: to persecute, burn people alive, beat them.”
The Venezuelan president also said that they know the “modus operandi” with which the right acts, recalling that it is the one that “was used for the coup d'état of April 2002, for the first guarimba of 2004, for Capriles' actions after the elections and for the guarimbas of 2014.”
Nicolás Maduro specified that “he is obliged as head of State and as a leader to speak to the people with the truth.”
Nicolas Maduro said that the right did everything “possible to suspend the elections.” According to the Venzuelan leader, to achieve this, yesterday “they ferociously attacked two strategic points of the electrical system for a blackout at 12 noon and at 8 at night.”
