Juan Guaidó acknowledged Monday that there were "people" who pledged to support a military uprising against Nicolás Maduro's regime on Tuesday, April 30, but that eventually did not comply with the agreement At the same time, he was optimistic about early political change.

"There were people who did not comply (…) This does not mean that they do not do it soon, we hope that many others will not conform to their country ( …) As is evident today, discontent is widespread, which) the armed forces do not escape ", said the interim president of Venezuela, during an interview with the agency AFP.

He also acknowledged that "there is a conversation (…) with all civilian and military officials".

Guaidó, recognized as interim president by more than 50 countries, also considered that Maduro's weakness will generate "soon" a change of government.

"I am very optimistic that we are about to make a change in Venezuela," said the president of the National Assembly, which has a majority of the opposition.
