Last night #Maduro called on armed pro-regime gangs to step up street actions.
Today at 3pm @jguaido will lead a large street protest in #Caracas.
Strong reasons to be concerned that we could see increased violence & severe repression today in #Venezuela
FIVE PART THREAD ON SITUATION IN #VENEZUELA:
The crisis inside the country has taken a rapid & catastrophic turn over the last 72 hours. As bad as the humanitarian crisis was before,since Thursday it has become increasingly horrific.
1/5
The #MaduroRegime deployed it’s most trustworthy security forces to the border last week to keep out humanitarian aid out of #Venezuela. But in the last week over 17% of them have abandoned the regime & defected. No tyranny can survive for long with a 17% defection rate.
This is the video that upset the dictator @NicolasMaduro.
@jorgeramosnews recorded it on his cell phone in the streets of Caracas. When he played it for Maduro during the interview the dictator got angry & detained him & his crew in a dark room for over 2 hours.
Voy a abrirles mi corazón: Siento mas odio por los militares que por Maduro o Diosdado. Los odio más porque ni entiendo sus razones. Comen mal, sus familiares sufren las mismas desgracias del pueblo, hasta sus uniformes son pobres. ¿Qué los lleva a dispararle a un hermano?
They may not realize it yet but today the Maduro Regime made it easier to isolate them internationally.
After today it will be difficult for nations to remain neutral. And for their allies to continue to support it defend them. (Cont)
Grave situation developing right now inside of #Colombia.
@freddysuperlano a member of the National Assembly of #Venezuela was poisoned this morning at breakfast inside of Colombia & is in serious condition at the hospital.
His assistant Carlos Salinas has died from poisoning.
Today #MaduroRegime killed unarmed citizens of their own country to keep food & medicine from entering
They they celebrated murder & burning of trucks carrying aid as a victory
The world & those inside #Venezuela will reflect on what happened today & it will give rise to action
#Comunicado para todas las Embajadas presentes en Venezuela.
Responsablemente les digo que somos una nación soberana y seguiremos manteniendo las relaciones diplomáticas con todos los países del mundo.
Seguimos firmes en retomar el Orden Constitucional.
President @realDonaldTrump has officially recognized the President of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Juan Guaido, as the Interim President of Venezuela.
John McCain, undergoing cancer treatment paid for by taxes, just voted to vote to end cancer treatment for taxpayers on Medicare. And we paid him to do it.
