The Maduro system began to fall

A Venezuelan air force general has declared that he no longer recognizes the "dictatorial" power of President Nicolas Maduro and supports Juan Guadillo, who has declared himself acting president, at a time when pro-war demonstrations have been raging for 10 days.

A senior Venezuelan general called on the armed forces to rebel against President Nicolas Maduro and to recognize opposition leader Juan Guido as interim president of the country as pressure grew at home and abroad for Maduro to step down. In a video shot on Saturday (February 2, 2019) on Twitter, Major General Francisco Yanase, a member of the Air Force High Command, said most of the armed forces had already abandoned Maduro, who is said to be the victim of a US-led coup.

"The people of Venezuela, 90 percent of the armed forces do not support the dictator, they support the people of Venezuela," Janez said in the section. "Given the events of the past hours, the transition to democracy is already imminent." . I accused the top command of betrayal on its Twitter account.

Janez is the first Venezuelan general in service to recognize Guaydou since he declared himself president on January 23.

The publication coincided with Venezuelan opposition supporters starting protests across the country on Saturday to keep pressure on Maduro after Washington recognized Guido as a legitimate president and imposed sanctions likely to further weaken the struggling oil sector in the OPEC member country.

Maduro's critics also hope to encourage European countries to do the same. Some EU member states are expected to officially recognize Guaydou this week and others are likely to take a more conservative supportive stance.
"We will send a very clear message from all regions of Venezuela and to every city in the world," Guido said in a video message posted on Twitter on Saturday. "We will hold a protest to show power in an organized and peaceful manner."

Meanwhile, thousands of Venezuelans began to demonstrate in the capital Caracas to demand that Maduro step down for Guido and rally opposition supporters who wore Venezuelan flags at five points east of the capital and started walking toward the EU representative's residence in Las Mercedes.

Demonstrations in support of Maduro were also launched and the 20th anniversary of the inauguration of the late communist leader Hugo Chavez was also celebrated for the first time in 1999
