Juan Guaidó ambassador denies 'military coup' is underway amid uprising against Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro
Juan Guaidó’s ambassador to the United States has denied that Venezuela’s opposition leader had launched a “military coup” to overthrow the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro. Earlier on Tuesday, Guaidó took to the streets with members of the country’s armed forces, encouraging citizens to rise up and seize power from Maduro.
“This is not a military coup, this is a constitutional crisis, led by the Venezuelan people,” Carlos Vecchio said. “This is only the beginning,” he added. “This is an operation that is developing right now. You will see more events in the hours and days to come.” The fact that Guaidó and his allies consider him the legitimate president explains the rejection of the term “coup” to describe Tuesday’s actions.
