Showdown in Venezuela: Guaido calls for uprising, Maduro claims army loyalty
  • 5 years ago
Is it coming to a head between Venezuela's duelling presidents? National Assembly speaker Juan Guaido spoke before dawn from a Caracas area air base alongside the leader and founder of his Voluntad Popular party, Leopoldo Lopez. Lopez sprung from house arrest, protected by what appear to be military men. Nicolas Maduro's supporters denounced an attempted coup. Which side the soldiers obey in the coming hours and days will be key.
