CARACAS - Opposition leader Juan Guaido held talks with Venezuela’s public sector unions on Tuesday about staging strikes to help bring down the government, as President Nicolas Maduro said a “crazed minority” bent on destabilizing the country would be defeated.
The opposition is also seeking to capitalize on momentum spurred by Guaido’s triumphant return to Venezuela on Monday to press for an end to Maduro’s rule. “The crazed minority continues in their bitterness. We are going to defeat them, be absolutely sure,” he said during a ceremony to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the death of his predecessor Hugo Chavez.
“If he wanted to build a democratic Venezuela, he had the opportunity to do so, but he did not,” Abrams told reporters. “The moment has come and our call, our request, and our complete support for public employees, is to bring about this strike,” Guaido said after meeting with state workers. He did not say when the strikes would be held.
