He also said that “the“The intelligence agencies are active and ready to act on the offensive 24 hours a day, with a permanent offensive.” “I said that we are going for everyone and we are going for everyone because in Venezuela there must be justice and protection of the peace of the Venezuelans,” he lashed out.
Regarding the protests that began on Monday, July 29, in rejection of the results issued by the National Electoral Council, Maduro said that the opposition leadership intended to “kill thousands of Venezuelans on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.” “If we had not acted as we did here, there would have been a bloodbath. They represent violence and hatred, the guarimba, they represent the call for international intervention,” the president repeated.
This Thursday, María Corina Machado called for a mobilization this Saturday in Las Mercedes. “We are all meeting as a family, in all the cities of Venezuela, in Caracas on the main avenue of Las Mercedes because we are going to pay tribute to each of the heroes who asserted and defended the will of the Venezuelans on July 28,” she said in a video.
Threats from VenApp
Maduro also said that they received “5,000 threats via VenApp, from social leaders,” who allegedly received threats. “We will deal with every last one, one by one, we will clear them up,” he warned.
The president said that in the context of the protests, there are “a number of deceased passersby”, “people who were arriving home and were attacked”. “We have two soldiers murdered viciously and cruelly, a general officer, a lieutenant colonel wounded, 21 professional military troops wounded, 120 PNB officials wounded of varying severity.”
Cyber attack
Maduro said that Venezuela “suffered a cyber attack against all communication systems. Today they attacked the Patria System, the CNE transmission system and they have attacked 25 national domain sites for different things. Elon Musk is directing this cyber coup.” “It is a coup d’état led by the US with Elon Musk and Milei,” he repeated.
“I denounce that the United States, together with Elon Musk and Milei’s fascist international, are leading a coup against Venezuelan democracy. How many ambushes did they set up on Sunday to cause a national blackout and no results? On Monday, there were thousands of criminals?
