Venezuela opposition seeks to maintain momentum against the government
By Anthony Faiola and Anthony Faiola Correspondent covering Latin America, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, human rights, poverty, globalization and economics Email Bio Follow Mariana Zuñiga May 2 at 9:43 AM CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela’s opposition sought to maintain pressure Thursday on President Nicolás Maduro through further protests, as the embattled socialist leader convened a weekend of dialogue to critique his mandate and fine-tune “the revolution.
“As long as we are mobilized and united, we are very close to achieving our freedom,” Guaidó said on the Fox Business Network. “Can’t tell you a specific date or time. Working on transition. Democracy has always taken time.” In a phone call with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov complained that the United States was clearly supporting opposition attempts to overthrow the government.
He called for “action and proposals from all the people, so they tell Nicolás Maduro what we have to do to create a plan to change the revolution, to rectify mistakes in the middle of the battle.” A protester was killed Wednesday, said doctors and the independent Venezuelan Observatory of Social Conflict, which tracks protests. Officials said Jurubith Garcia, 27, was hit by a bullet in eastern Caracas, where security forces were confronting protesters. Her death was the second in two days, and the 55th in protests this year.
