Venezuela prepares with confused armed forces and civil society willing to march to overthrow Nicolás Maduro of power

With the surprise movement of some 25 soldiers in Venezuela, in support of Juan Guaidó, two facts were revealed: the fragility of the Bolivarian national armed forces that was not united, that the action took her by surprise, in such a way that she was in shock causing a very late reaction from the military high command. And the other thing is that he left in evidence the loyalty of the most unprecedented figure that can be aligned with the opposition forces, that of the head of the political intelligence services, SEBIN (Bolivarian Intelligence Service), a position incumbent upon persons enjoying the absolute confidence of the leader of the opposition. government.

Although it is not a coup d'etat, not even a military attempt, yes, he managed the rebellion of two dozen active military, uniformed and armed, who were put at the service of the President of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó, whom they recognize as president in charge and commander-in-chief of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB).

The efectista act had a lot of weight to see at liberty Leopoldo López, leader of the Popular Will, appearing with their guardians, thanks to the actions of the general Manuel Ricardo Cristopher Figuera, director of SEBIN, who would have been decisive for him to leave his house where he was under house arrest.

This group of officers was welcomed as an asylum at the Brazilian Embbady after fulfilling its purpose. Note that the army did not talk about any military base or submissive officers who were commanding a barracks. There was no statement from a military leader. Guaidó does not speak to a group of soldiers because, although the uniforms are behind him, he goes alone in the country, even separated from Leopoldo López, who stayed a few meters away.

It was obvious that in the armed forces there is no mbadive support nor in favor of Nicolás Maduro or the government of the day. This is demonstrated by the very weak military response that was given to repress the group of soldiers who, at dawn, were almost alone with Juan Guaidó and Leopoldo López near the La Carlota airbase. But there was also the support of other military in favor of the young and daring president of the National Assembly.

The surprising thing for opponents and government allies is that the logical reaction either that this should be on the part of the armed forces before the scale of an event that could have meant the overthrow of Nicolás Maduro and that the defense minister called a coup d'etat.

The other relevant thing is that the FANB did not go to suppress the demonstrations in the proportion that the executive had wished. For this reason, the plan to be followed lacked much coordination and the Maduro government 's attempts and strategies with regard to the soldiers who were dissatisfied or frustrated by the FANB were surprising.

The meeting of the general again Gustavo González López, towards SEBIN, does not mean force for Nicolás Maduro, means triumph of power for Diosdado Cabello because González López is in the unconditional service of the president of the Constituent Assembly, that is to say, a setback in the strategies that Nicolás Maduro had developed to confront Diosdado Cabello within his power and harm his power.

In addition, the president of the ANC managed months ago seize Diosdado Cabello controls political intelligencejust like he did with the control of Ramo Verde's military prison. But we must admit that it was Cabello who reacted most quickly, although he did it hours later. While the military high command did not speak, Minister Padrino López had barely published three tweets and Nicolás Maduro did not appear anywhere. came out Cabello by the signal of the state channel in a message in which he did not call the FANB, but the militia and the feelings of Chavez.

During crucial hours, government-only forces reacted with tear gas to control and control the group of soldiers in the middle of the road near the La Carlota military airbase. Time was the great ally of Juan Guaidó and his strategy because it allowed him to protect himself from thousands of people who started arriving on the scene and leaving all areas of Caracas.

That at the end of the day, the 25 soldiers met at the Brazilian Embbady, ​​which Leopoldo López and his family did at the Embbady of Spain and Spain. that those who took to the streets have returned home, it is not a defeat, insisted Cabello. "Long live the country, whore, the traitors in the country were once again vanquished, our glorious people giving lessons of dignity, whatever happens and in all circumstances, we will win!" And if anyone knows that what happened in Caracas has certain consequences, it is Diosdado who knows very well the armed forces and, despite their desperate appeals to the concentration of the militia and collective structures in Miraflores, he only managed to a group of people to comply with his request.

The night was long for the opposition and for the leaders of the government and the armed forces. Today is the day of greatest uncertainty for those who are preparing to leave.

The statements of two Trump administration officials cast doubt on Maduro's three most trusted men: Minister Padrino López, President of the Supreme Court of Justice Maikel Moreno, and the head of the government. the Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM) and also head of the General Military House Iván Hernández Dala.

Padrino López is the officer who has the greatest leadership within the armed institutionthere is no other thing in the army's scenario with his ancestors and his relations with his subordinates, which has allowed him to stay close to five years at the post and the FANB.

The image of the military star was unclear in the reaction she had prior to Guaidó's military movement, but she seemed more at odds with the discourse filled with bbadities in politics and far from the formality that must be the reaction of a military leader of insubordination and rebellion as that happened.

The Force did not have its best day with the beginning of the final phase of the Libertad operation, as Juan Guaidó called it.
