The Venezuelan president said that "the people are ready to give their lives on the streets".

Guaidó directed Wednesday the second day of protests under the so-called "Operation Freedom". The streets of Caracas were the scene of clashes between the opposition and the Bolivarian security forces, who reacted by repressing the protests.

We just defeated the plot to right, "said the leader of Chavez, referring to the versions of a supposed breakup of the military high command.

"The coup d'état skirmish was personally led by John Bolton of the White House, so I denounce it and ask that John Bolton's illegal actions and coups d'etat against the Venezuelan democracy are the subject of an investigation in the United States, "he concluded.
