Fact by Fact: Attempted Coup in Venezuela. April 30, 2019


April 30, 2019


In the early hours of this Tuesday, April 30, a small group of soldiers went to the Altamira dealership, on the Francisco Fajardo highway in Caracas, along with deputy Juan Guaidó and Leopoldo López (who was released by traitorous custodians in the FANB) from where they called to their supporters to take the streets of Caracas to start a new coup attempt in Venezuela.

As a background to this new coup attempt, there is the withdrawal of Venezuela from the Organization of American States (OAS), the tightening of geopolitical alliances with Russia, China and the indisputable disinflation of Juan Guaidó. In a new desperate attempt to project that he “fulfills” his “presidential functions”, and that he has control over the FANB, he has provoked this last-minute recourse to try to change the correlation of forces, calling the coup through social networks, with the aim of precipitating chaos, violence and collective anguish.

Here then, our analysis fact by fact and in real time of the situation:

Ravell gives the starting shot (05:13 a.m.)
The businessman and fugitive Alberto Federico Ravell “director of the presidential communication”, in the early hours of the morning gave the starting shot of the coup. He announced that Leopoldo López and Juan Guaidó, together with a group of soldiers, maintained “control of the air base of La Carlota”, in what would be “the definitive phase of the coup d’état in progress”, which they called “cessation of the usurpation. ”

Juan Guaidó says to be in La Carlota: lie (06:00 am)
Surrounded by some soldiers, Juan Guaidó indicated they had effective possession of the La Carlota air base, while calling for demonstrations to support a new attempt at open insurrection. Minutes after that statement, it was confirmed that the base area in question is safeguarded by the FANB and the “civilian” actors of the coup are in the Altamira distributor.
