A senior officer ignored Nicolás Maduro as president and supported Guaidó

During the previous march for the "freedom" of Venezuela, a Bolivarian aviation general announced that he did not know Nicolás Maduro as president and called the the armed forces to support Juan Guaidó, the president of the National Assembly who proclaimed himself president in charge.

This is General Francisco Esteban Yáñez Rodríguez, who made the announcement through a video on YouTube.

"Today, with a patriotic and democratic pride, I inform you that I do not know the irritating and dictatorial power of Mr. Nicolás Maduroy and I recognize the deputy Juan Guaidó as president in charge. of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, for which I put myself at your service, "he said.

The general added that most of his comrades and his military did not accompany Maduro's political process. "90% of the armed forces are not with the dictator, but with the people of Venezuela," he said.

Yánez Rodríguez therefore urged his comrades to support Guaidó as president and asked them not to "repress" the people of Venezuela more. He also urged people to go out peacefully on the streets to defend the Speaker of Parliament.

In response to his statements, the Venezuelan military aviation accused him of being a "traitor". "Weapon man unworthy who betrays the oath of allegiance and loyalty to the homeland of Bolívar and the legacy of Commander Hugo Chávez and kneels before the imperialist pretensions , Francisco Yánez TRAIDOR ", they wrote on Twitter.

This Saturday, Chavismo sympathizers will also take to the streets to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the inauguration of the late president and leader of the so-called Bolivarian revolution, Hugo Chávez.

The protests should not coincide as the opposition has called for concentration in the east and the ruling party in downtown Caracas.

Before Yánez, a command

On January 21, about 30 soldiers of the command of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) revolted, in a district of Caracas, against the government of Nicolás Maduro.

The incident occurred after the parliament, which controls the anti-Chavez, approved a law decree promises an amnesty for all civilian and military officials who do not recognize Maduro and help to "restore the democratic thread", which they say is broken.
