CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The government accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations in multiple states.

[…]

Venezuela’s government, in the statement, called on its supporters to take to the streets.

“People to the streets!” the statement said. “The Bolivarian Government calls on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and repudiate this imperialist attack.”

The statement added that President Nicolás Maduro had “ordered all national defense plans to be implemented” and declared “a state of external disturbance.” That state of emergency gives him the power to suspend people’s rights and expand the role of the armed forces.

    Please remove the cheeto from office. He did not win either popular vote. He is wreaking havoc because no one holds him accountable.

      He did not win either popular vote.

      He did get elected, whether you like him or not.
      Why is he still in office is beyond me, maybe a magic lead encasing could solve that since he seems to be above the law.

        Popular vote isn’t electoral college vote.He did win the 2024 popular vote by 1.5%.

        Eta: there has been evidence offered the last vote was rigged.
