A Venezuelan general has called on the country's armed forces to rise up against President Maduro.
CARACAS, Venezuela — A Venezuelan general called on the country's armed forces on Sunday to rise up against President Nicolás Maduro, who has relied on the backing of the military to hold on to power despite an economic collapse.
"We have to find a way to get rid of the fear, to go out into the streets, to protest, and to seek a military union to change this political system," Rangel said in a video posted on YouTube."It's time to rise up." Officers who have disavowed Maduro have fled the country and the military top brass — most notably those who command troops — continues to recognize Maduro.Marvin Recinos / AFP - Getty Images
