Tehran (KNA) - Venezuela’s Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez says the government is confronting a small group of “military traitors” who are seeking to promote a coup against President Nicolas Maduro.
"We are currently facing and deactivating a small group of treacherous military personnel who took positions in the Altamira distributor road (in Caracas) to promote a coup d'etat," said Rodriguez in a Twitter post on Tuesday.
Venezuela has been in political turmoil since US-backed opposition figure Juan Guaido declared himself "interim president" late in January.
