MADURO BLAMES US, MUSK FOR LEADING COUP ATTEMPTS IN VENEZUELA

Sun 04 August 2024:

The United States and American entrepreneur Elon Musk are behind the failed coup attempt in Venezuela, the Bolivarian Republic’s President Nicolas Maduro told a news conference.

“It is a coup orchestrated by the United States and [entrepreneur] Elon Musk, [Argentinian President Javier] Milei and other <…> right-wing fascists,” Maduro said, TASS reported.

“They are attempting to direct a sequel of the `Guaido’ movie,” the Venezuelan leader said, referring to the 2019 events when a US-led group of countries recognized the powers of Juan Guaido who had declared himself president of Venezuela.

“They used the election campaign in an effort to establish a new force,” Maduro said as he called on Venezuelans not to allow themselves to be dragged into another coup.
