Caracas, July 30 (RHC)-- Venezuelan security forces have managed to control the violent outbreaks in Caracas called by far-right politicians Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez.

Interior Minister Remigio Ceballos confirmed that the attacks by extremist groups follow a coup d’état agenda, using an alleged electoral fraud to create an atmosphere of anxiety and violence in the country. Starting Tuesday, public order forces will remain deployed in Caracas to safeguard the nation’s interests.

“Through pure fascism, the far right seeks to implement doctrines and violent scenarios that had already been attempted in the past against the country’s peace,” said Ceballos, who condemned the right-wing attacks on Venezuelan patriotic symbols.

From Caracas, teleSUR journalist Madelein Garcia reported that security forces had managed to restore order on the avenues adjacent to the Miraflores Palace, the seat of the Executive branch.

Investigations conducted so far indicate that the urban violence outbreaks were largely generated by citizens with criminal records who allegedly received payment in dollars to create anxiety in Caracas.

At the moment, the Venezuelan capital is under the control of competent authorities who are deployed to enforce the law and prevent a recurrence of the violent groups’ actions seen in 2014 and 2017.

The wave of violence that erupted on Monday occurred after far-right candidate Edmundo Gonzalez refused to accept the results of the National Electoral Council, which declared President Nicolas Maduro the winner of the presidential elections with 51 percent of the votes.
