Venezuelan Government Deploys Force to Quell Pre-Inauguration Protests Amid Tensions With Opposition

ai generated text

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is mobilizing the state apparatus ahead of his inauguration for another six-year term amid heightened repression and persecution. Opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia has called on the U.S. to help restore democratic order. At least 19 people, including a press freedom activist, have been detained nationwide, while the government investigates opposition leaders for alleged conspiracy. Tensions are high, with Venezuelans fearing further crackdowns, exacerbated by a military intelligence video symbolizing nighttime raids.

    1. Both leaders agreed there is nothing more essential to the success of democracy than respecting the will of the people, as expressed through a transparent and accountable electoral process, and that Gonzalez Urrutia's campaign victory should be honored through a peaceful transfer back to democratic rule.

    1. Correa is a veteran of human rights activism in Venezuela, he's a reference for the entire human rights movement. His reported detention and forced disappearance are very serious, because it foresees the repressive response the Government is mounting ahead of Friday's inauguration.

    1. Mr. González Urrutia does not understand that the FANB is a pristine institution, which owes itself to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and does not obey the designs or mandates of other imperial powers.

    1. Whoever tries to mess with Venezuela is going to pay dearly. They will be able to enter if they want to, their problem will be to get out of this land.
    2. They have sought us by force and we have defeated them; they have sought us by hook or by crook and we have defeated them and we will continue to do so.
    3. There are no few threats against our country every day from different parts of the world, internal enemies and external enemies.
    4. We are patrolling, as part of our duty, to bring peace to the country, to guarantee peace.
    5. Some in the opposition are nervous because there are security measures in place. That is very normal on such an important date as the inauguration. In these procedures, our colleagues from the security forces are doing what is required of public order.

    1. Our National Armed Forces is called to be a guarantor of sovereignty and respect for the popular will. It is our duty to act with honor, merit and conscience.
    2. In these defining moments, I address you with the certainty that, together, we will overcome the challenges we face as an institution and as a nation. This January 10, by the sovereign will of the Venezuelan people, I must assume my responsibility as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, with the responsibility of directing our efforts towards a future of well-being and prosperity.
