Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido on Tuesday called for the military to oust President Nicolas Maduro. But Maduro said that military leaders had shown him their total loyalty. Guaido spoke at a gathering outside an air base in Caracas. Guaido supporters at the demonstration and soldiers began to fight. Other clashes took place at similar demonstrations across the country. The early-morning rebellion, however, seems to have only limited military support. Venezuela’s Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lpez appeared on national television surrounded by the country’s generals. He condemned Guaido’s move to seize power as a “terrorist” act and said that it was bound to fail. Early on Tuesday, Guaido posted a video on Twitter saying that he had begun the “final phase” of his campaign to oust Maduro. He called on Venezuelans and the armed forces to support him ahead of large street protests planned for Wednesday.
