Opposition leader Guaido calls for new protests as President Maduro warns against efforts to replicate Bolivia 'coup d'etat' in Venezuela
Supporters of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro take part in a pro-government demonstration in Caracas, on November 16, 2019.
Pro-government demonstrators carrying white flags took to the streets of Venezuela's capital in support of Maduro. Guaido had hoped to capitalise on the situation in Bolivia, where leftist leader Morales resigned in the face of accusations of election fraud, to deal a death blow to his own political nemesis.
"Bolivia took 18 days, we have been at it for years. I ask all of Venezuela to keep protesting," he said. "The struggle is until the takeover ends until free elections are achieved." "We have come today with very high expectations, we don't want this to be just another march," said Omar Kienzler, a 19-year-old law student.Maduro frequently blames right-wing forces backed by the United States, which he says is set on overthrowing him to steal Venezuela's vast oil reserves.The numbers of protesters on Saturday was a far cry from the tens of thousands Guaido once rallied, but it was the opposition's biggest rally since May, after a failed uprising.
