'A small group of masked youths stayed behind on the highway, firing rocks and Molotov cocktails in an attempt to storm the air base — amid the mayhem, an armored utility vehicle drove at full speed into the crowd. It was unclear if anyone was hurt'
But it was by far the most-serious challenge yet to Maduro's rule since Guaidó, with the backing of the U.S. and dozens of other countries, declared himself the country's interim president in January in rejection of a government he accused of stealing last year's presidential election.
As the two opposition leaders coordinated actions from vehicles parked on a highway overpass, troops loyal to Maduro sporadically fired tear gas from inside the adjacent Carlota air base. "It's now or never," said one of the young rebellious soldiers, his face covered in the blue bandanna worn by the few dozen soldiers joining the"Operation Freedom" insurrection.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza said the"right-wing extremists" would not succeed in fracturing the armed forces, which have largely stood with the socialist leader throughout the months of turmoil. "It's time to defend the revolution with arms," Valentin Santana, head of a militant group, said in a video posted on social media as he brandished an automatic rifle.
"The armed forces have taken the right decision," said Guaidó."With the support of the Venezuelan people and the backing of our constitution they are on the right side of history."
