During his speech, President Maduro recalled that these spaces were intended to be taken over by a small group of officers traitors to the Homeland who, encouraged by the government of the United States (US) and with the complicity of leaders of the Venezuelan ultra-right wing, pretended to overthrow the legitimate Government that he directs.
