In a bid to oust Nicolas Maduro from presidency, opposition forces led by Juan Guaidó initiated a military uprising. The plan was to persuade senior government officials and the military to turn against Maduro and support a transitional government. However, the uprising failed to gain enough traction, as key military figures remained loyal to Maduro.
Despite the buildup of tension in the days leading up to the event, the attempt to overthrow Maduro did not spark a widespread uprising or a large-scale defection within the military. The lack of substantial military support was a major setback for the opposition forces, leading to the failure of the attempted coup.
The failed attempt to remove Maduro had significant consequences for both sides of the political divide. For Maduro's government, it was seen as a demonstration of military loyalty and a validation of his power. On the other hand, the opposition forces faced internal divisions and a setback in their efforts to bring about political change in Venezuela.
The event highlighted the deep political polarization in the country and the challenges faced by opposition forces in their struggle against the Maduro government. It also raised concerns about the potential for further violence and instability in Venezuela.
In the aftermath of the failed uprising, Juan Guaidó called for continued protests and international support to pressure Maduro to step down. The situation remained tense, with both sides digging in their heels as Venezuela's political crisis continued to unfold.
