Venezuela’s Guaido in video calls for military uprising

Apr 30, 2019 | 5:03 AM

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido has called for a military uprising, in a video shot at a Caracas air base showing him surrounded by soldiers and accompanied by detained activist Leopoldo Lopez.

In the three-minute video shot early Tuesday, Guaido said soldiers who took to the streets would be acting to protect Venezuela’s constitution. He made the comments a day before a planned anti-government rally.

“The moment is now,” he said, as his political mentor Lopez and several heavily armed soldiers backed by a single armoured vehicle looked on.

Lopez has been under house arrest for leading an anti-government push in 2014.
