The week began under high tension in Venezuela. The country's security forces clashed with protesters after the rebellion of a National Guard unit against the government of President Nicolas Maduro.
The movement began at dawn on the outskirts of the capital, Caracas. Some members of the National Guard rebelled and called on Venezuelans to demonstrate against the government.
"We are here to defend the Constitution, you wanted the soldiers to go out on the streets to light the flame, we lit, but we need your support," said Sergeant Luis Bandres.
Residents responded to the call and protested against the government of Nicolas Maduro, who took office last week for a second term after elections surrounded by allegations of fraud.
Policemen loyal to the government dispersed the protesters. The soldiers who started the revolt were arrested.
Interior Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez said that "they will be punished with all the force of law".
The president of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó, chief opposition leader, said that what happened "testifies to the general feeling of the armed forces" and that he "s in favor. is committed "to give the army the necessary guarantees to contribute to the restoration of the Constitution".
The Supreme Court, composed of a majority of judges appointed by the party of Maduro, has annulled all acts approved by the National Assembly since taking office in early January.
The president of the tribunal, Juan José Mendoza, said that the decision of the opposition-controlled National Assembly of Venezuela not to recognize the power of Nicolás Maduro was unconstitutional.
