Venezuelan’s Juan Guaidó acknowledges that opposition overestimated military support before failed uprising
By Anthony Faiola Anthony Faiola Correspondent covering Latin America, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, human rights, poverty, globalization and economics Email Bio Follow May 4 at 5:01 PM CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó acknowledged Saturday errors made in attempting to stir a military uprising, and did not discard the option of a potential U.S.
Instead, Guaido’s call for the military to abandon Maduro did not produce mass breakaways in the ranks. Maduro’s security forces then quelled street protests and left Guaido’s U.S.-backed opposition on its heels. An opponent protester confronts riot police officers during a march in Caracas, Venezuela, on May 4, 2019. But Guaidó suggested that he would be open to a U.S. effort that also involved Venezuelan military personnel who have turned against Maduro.
