On 30 April, during the Venezuelan presidential crisis, a group of several dozen military personnel[1] and civilians joined Juan Guaidó in his call for the removal of Nicolás Maduro as part of what he labeled "Operation Freedom" (Шаблон:Lang-es). Reuters reported an "uneasy peace" by the afternoon of 30 April.[1] During the unrest, opposition leader Leopoldo López was freed from house arrest after being imprisoned for five years.[2] Manuel Cristopher Figuera, the head of the Bolivarian Intelligence Service, denounced the Maduro government and was dismissed from his position[3] before going into hiding.[4] At least 25 military men who opposed Maduro sought asylum at the Brazilian embassy in Caracas.[5]

In a joint statement, the Lima Group shared support for Guaidó and called for Maduro's exit.[6] Maduro,[7] along with some academics[8] and media outlets,[9] described the actions of Guaidó and his allies as an attempted coup d'état, while other media organizations described the actions as an uprising.[10] Maduro expelled 54 members from the military and the head of intelligence who publicly backed Guaidó.[11] Guaidó's efforts to persuade senior military officials to join his movement failed,[12][13][14][15] with Guaidó stating that going forward, protests would be held every day until Maduro stepped down from power.[16] Guaidó called for his supporters and the country's armed forces to take to the streets again the following day.[1]

By 2 May, four people were killed in the ensuing clashes between opposition protesters and militants on one side, and pro-government protesters and the Venezuelan armed forces on the other.[17] Some National Assembly members had their immunity lifted and were indicted afterwards; several of those indicted, while others went into hiding.[18][19] Additionally, the National Assembly vice-president Edgar Zambrano was later arrested.[20][21]

Background

Шаблон:Main A power struggle concerning who is the legitimate President of Venezuela began on 10 January 2019, when the opposition-majority National Assembly declared that incumbent Nicolás Maduro's 2018 re-election was invalid; that the office of the President of Venezuela was therefore vacant; and declared its president, Juan Guaidó, to be acting president of the nation. As of May 2019, Guaidó has been recognized as the interim president of Venezuela by 54 countries,[22] including the United States and most nations of Latin America and Europe.[23] Internationally, support has followed usual geopolitical lines: Russia, China, Iran, Syria, Turkey, and Cuba support Maduro, while the United States, Canada, and most of Europe and Latin America support Guaidó as interim president.[24]

The process and results of the May 2018 Venezuelan presidential election were widely disputed.[25] The National Assembly declared Maduro illegitimate on the day of his second inauguration, citing the 1999 Constitution of Venezuela enacted under Hugo Chávez, Maduro's predecessor; in response, the pro-Maduro Supreme Tribunal of Justice said the National Assembly's declaration was unconstitutional.[26] Minutes after Maduro took the oath as president of Venezuela on 10 January 2019, the Organization of American States (OAS) approved a resolution in a special session of its Permanent Council declaring Maduro's presidency illegitimate and urging new elections.[27] Special meetings of the OAS on 24 January and in the United Nations Security Council on 26 January were held but no consensus was reached. Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres called for dialogue.[28]

Maduro's government states that the crisis is a "coup d'état led by the United States to topple him and control the country's oil reserves".[29][30] Guaidó denies the coup allegations, saying peaceful volunteers back his movement.[31]

On 21 January 2019, a small-scale attempted military mutiny occurred in the Cotiza neighborhood, Caracas, where 27 military officials kidnapped security and stole weapons, trying to march on Miraflores, who fought against and were apprehended by authorities in the early hours. People in the local area continued the fight, protesting and burning things in the street even as tear gas was deployed.[32][33][34]

Guaidó announced on 16 March 2019 that he would embark on a tour of the country to organize committees for what he called "Operation Freedom" with the goal to claim the presidential residence, Miraflores Palace.[35] From the first rally in Carabobo state, he said, "We will be in each state of Venezuela and for each state we have visited the responsibility will be yours, the leaders, the united, [to] organize ourselves in freedom commands."[35]

In an open assembly celebrating the anniversary of the 19 April 1810 date when the Venezuelan Independence Movement began, Guaidó offered the example that organized protests in Sudan led to the replacement of Omar al-Bashir, and called for "the greatest march" in history on 1 May, to "once and for all end this tragedy".[36] Coinciding with his speech, NetBlocks stated that state-run CANTV again blocked access to social media in Venezuela.[37]

United States National Security Adviser John R. Bolton indicated in a press conference that Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López, Supreme Court president Maikel Moreno, and the head of Maduro's Presidential Guard, Iván Hernández Dala had been talking with the opposition over the last three months about a peaceful transition, and had agreed that Maduro needed to go.[38][39]

Juan Forero reported that more than a dozen sources close to the negotiations told The Wall Street Journal that meetings between key opposition figures and Maduro government officials had taken place in Panama, the Dominican Republic and Colombia for two months, "trying to cut a deal for a peaceful transfer of power" that was not to be accomplished via a military coup, "but rather through a court ruling that would permit the military to step away from Mr. Maduro and put the country on a path back to democracy".[40] According to The Wall Street Journal, the Supreme Court, of which Moreno is the highest official, "was to recognize the opposition-controlled National Assembly, the last democratically elected body in Venezuela, as the legitimate representative of the Venezuelan people. The armed forces would then have legal grounds to abandon Mr. Maduro. The defense minister, Vladimir Padrino López, and others who were negotiating with the opposition, would join the new government."[40] When Leopoldo López and Guaidó called for an uprising a day early, support was withdrawn for unclear reasons; Forero writes, "It isn't known whether they [pulled out of the pact] because counterintelligence agents had discovered the plot or because key actors on the government side never had any intention of pulling their support for Mr. Maduro."[40]

Anthony Faiola reports a similar account in The Washington Post, based on extensive interviews with three unnamed sources, who indicated that "the plotters were counting on Moreno to provide a vital lever to sway the military to their cause: a legal ruling that would have effectively acknowledged Guaidó as interim president and led to new elections".[41] The Washington Post says it saw the draft ruling which was to be issued on 29 April by the Supreme Court; the ruling would withdraw recognition of the pro-Maduro Constituent National Assembly, reinstate the opposition-majority National Assembly ("widely recognized internationally as Venezuela's only democratic institution"), call for elections, and make provisions for political prisoners.[41] With the Supreme Court issuing this ruling, the armed forces would have a legal basis to "force Maduro to step down without a single bullet being fired", in a "sequenced chain of official statements" that was not meant to be a coup.[41] According to the sources, Moreno suggested that he be the person to replace Maduro, and inquired about security for himself and his family. Manuel Cristopher Figuera, the Director General of Venezuela's National Intelligence Service (SEBIN), supplied information, according to this account, at 1 am on 30 April that he was to be replaced as head of SEBIN, Leopoldo López was to be sent back to prison, and the "government was preparing to take unspecified action against Guaidó and other senior opposition leaders".[41] The opposition decided to act on 30 April instead of 1 May.[41]

Venezuelan investigative journal Armando.Info and The Wall Street Journal reported that Venezuelan businessman Raúl Gorrín was involved in the plot for his close connection to Moreno, Padrino López and counter-intelligence chief Iván Hernández.[42][43] After the events of 30 April, Christopher Figuera fled to the US and declared in an interview with The Washington Post, that Gorrín was the one that approached US authorities with the plan in order to have the sanctions on him lifted.[44] César Omaña, another Venezuelan businessman living in Miami, was the one that contacted Cristopher Figuera to recruit him, according to the interview.[44] Omaña has not been sanctioned and had close ties with Hugo Chávez daughters and senior Maduro officials.[44] Omaña and Christopher Figuera started a series of negotiations, parallel to Gorrín's plan to convince Moreno.[44] Moreno had demanded ten million dollars, to secure his position in the Supreme Court, and a safety net for himself.[44] The plotters carried code names, Christopher Figuera was "Black Panther", Omaña was "Superman" and Mauricio Claver-Carone, the U.S. National Security Council's director for Latin American policy, was "Child eater" (Шаблон:Lang-es), according to the interview.[44] Opposition officials said that the plan was moved from 1 May to 30 April because Guaidó might be arrested, Christopher Figuera denies it.[44] Christopher Figuera claims that he was the one who accelerated the timetable to avoid a large scale attack of paramilitary forces (colectivos) that was prepared for the 1st May.[44] According to Christopher Figuera, Padrino López was against moving forward the date.[44] Maduro, Moreno and Padrino López have denied publicly their role in the plot.[44]

After Leopoldo López left Venezuela in October 2020, he reaffirmed Maikel Moreno's involvement in the operation.[45]

Events

Release of López and call for uprising

Файл:2019 Venezuela uprising - Leopoldo López.png

At 2:00 am VET, lieutenant colonel Illich Sánchez of the Bolivarian National Guard, gathered his troops, stating "When I gathered my troops ... and told them we were going to liberate Venezuela they broke down in tears". Sánchez was the commander of 500 troops throughout Caracas who were tasked with protecting government buildings such as Miraflores Palace, and the Palacio Federal Legislativo.[46] Dozens of troops would later report that they were "tricked" by an officer to participate in Guaidó's effort.[47] Shortly after, Sánchez's troops freed opposition leader Leopoldo López — Guaidó's mentor and Venezuela's "most prominent opposition activist", according to the Associated Press — who had been under house arrest since 2014.[46][48]

At approximately 5:00 am, large vehicles accompanied by members of the National Bolivarian Armed Forces of Venezuela blocked portions of the Francisco Fajardo Highway.[49] At 5:46 am VET, Guaidó live-streamed a video on Periscope of himself beside López, with the two flanked by members of the Venezuelan armed forces from the Altamira Overpass, near La Carlota Air Force Base in Caracas.[50][51][52] Guaidó titled the initiative "Operation Freedom", and stated: "People of Venezuela, it is necessary that we go out together to the street, to support the democratic forces and to recover our freedom. Organized and together, mobilize the main military units. People of Caracas, all to La Carlota".[50][1]

López, his wife Lilian Tintori and their daughter would later enter the Chilean embassy in Caracas,[2][53] and move again to the Spanish embassy for protection.[54][55]

After Guaidó's announcement, NetBlocks reported that multiple social media and news websites were censored by the state-run CANTV internet provider.[56] The internet outage was similar to the regular disruptions that have occurred in other important political conflicts in 2019.[56] The signal of BBC World News and CNN would also be taken off the air, and the local radio station Radio Caracas Radio was broken into and shut down by the telecommunications authority.[57]

Clashes

Файл:2019 Venezuela uprising - clashes.png
Clashes between pro-Guaidó protesters and pro-Maduro authorities

Minister of Information Jorge Rodríguez released a statement by 6:30 am that the Maduro government was beginning to disperse forces loyal to Guaidó.[58] At the same time, access to Miraflores Palace was barricaded, and forces loyal to Maduro took up positions in the surrounding area.[59] Military forces loyal to Guaidó outfitted their uniforms with blue cloth.[58][60]

At 6:44 am, tear gas fired from troops within La Carlota Air Force Base dispersed some forces loyal to Guaidó near the facility.[51][58] Vice President of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, called for supporters to gather at Miraflores Palace to defend Maduro.[58]

Guaidó left the area near La Carlota around 8:00 am, leading a march heading west. Шаблон:Ill, leader of La Piedrita colectivo, stated at 8:30 am that "it was time to defend the revolution with weapons", calling for support of Maduro.[61] At approximately 8:39 am, heavy gunfire erupted as pro-Maduro armed colectivos fired rounds while riding motorbikes near La Carlota.[51][62][63]

Pro-Guaidó protesters attempted to enter the main gate of La Carlota at 9:10 am.[51] The Caracas Metro ceased operations at 9:15 am citing security reasons.[51] Forces loyal to Maduro dispersed protesters from the gates of La Carlota at 9:43 am.[51]

At 11:00 am, Maduro's Prosecutor General Tarek William Saab spoke on state-run television saying that Guaidó and his supporters would face "consequences".[62] A National Guardsman loyal to Maduro was injured by a gunshot to the neck at 11:08 am.[51] By 11:12 am, protesters near La Carlota begin to largely disperse and injured begin to appear in clinics minutes later.[51] At 11:42 am, armored VN-4s driven by Maduro loyalists begin to attack protesters, with some protesters being run over by the vehicles.[51][64]

Following a speech at noon, Guaidó turned his group of protesters, along with armed National Guardsmen loyal to Guaidó, towards western Caracas where numerous government facilities and the Miraflores presidential palace is located.[51][52] The march in support of Guaidó halted in Chacao around 1:41 pm after armed colectivos emerged from the Ministry of Transportation building, firing upon the demonstration.[51][65] A woman was wounded by the gunfire.[66] Minutes later, officers of the Miranda State Police and Chacao Municipal Police confronted the colectivos with a gunfight ensuing.[51][52][67] The following day, the police officers that confronted the colectivos were ordered to hand over their service weapons and informed that an investigation by a police oversight body against them was opened.[68]

Movement dissolves

Minor clashes occurred throughout the day following the dispersal of the march.[51] News that the National Guard blocked the march from progressing and that López's family had sought refuge in the Embassy of Chile resulted with protests dissipating.[52] By the evening hours, only small groups of protesters persisted in Caracas.[52]

As Guaidó loyalists learned that high-ranking officials close to Maduro refused to turn, confusion began to spread.[46] Rebels under command of lieutenant colonel Sánchez began to seek refuge as the plan failed.[46] Troops then removed their uniforms while traveling throughout Caracas on motorcycle, knocking on the doors of foreign embassies asking for protection.[46] López was then able to contact President Juan Carlos Varela of Panama, who granted 16 troops loyal to Guaidó permission to stay at Panama's embassy in Caracas.[46] The group would stay in the embassy for the next seven months until they were released during a "military operation" performed by friendly troops in December 2019, which resulted in the group fleeing from the country.[46]

Aftermath

On the evening of 30 April, Maduro addressed the nation from Miraflores Palace, accompanied by high-level officials of his government and the armed forces.[7] Maduro stated that an attempted "coup d'etat" occurred and congratulated supporters who "led the defeat of the small group that tried to fill Venezuela with violence".[69] Maduro, discussing the day's events, stated "We have been facing various forms of coup d'etat, due to the obsessive efforts of the Venezuelan right, the Colombian oligarchy and the US empire".[69]

In the days after the event, Guaidó would concede that the opposition's plan had not worked and that they had mistaken their support from the military and high-level officials, stating "Maybe because we still need more soldiers, maybe we need more officials of the regime to be willing to support it, to back the constitution, ... I think the variables are obvious at this point".[70] Guaidó would further state that protests and calls for defections would continue, saying that the opposition has "been doing this for 20 years" and that "[g]etting frustrated and tired is part of it, but Venezuelans have demonstrated that they always take the fight again when they have to".[70] CNN reported that the "uprising faltered, having apparently failed to gain the support of senior members of the Venezuelan military".[14]

On the other hand, Leopoldo López stated that his liberation was only the first step from a phase that was ongoing and had no turning back.[71] Some members of Venezuela's opposition have held López responsible for the failure of the uprising, saying that his unexpected act of appearing in front of the media during the event was an unhelpful performance to construct a positive public image and that it disrupted detailed plans, scaring away possible defectors.[71][55]

Arrests and casualties

Demonstrators protested "across the nation" on 30 April, with violence in more than five states,[72] and demonstrations in every state.[73] Vladimir Padrino, Maduro's Defense Minister, stated that the government was prepared to use weapons if necessary to deactivate the "attempted coup".[74][75]

A National Guard armoured personnel carrier ran over protesters,[76] captured on video "accelerating directly into a group of antigovernment protesters".[53] By the end of 30 April, over 100 had been injured; the majority were hit by rubber bullets, and two had gunshot wounds.[77][78] Salud Chacao reported having attended 69 injured.[79] One 25-year-old man died when he was shot in the chest during a protest in the interior state of Aragua.[72] The Maduro government stated that five National Guardsmen and police officers were injured.[7] A physician in a Caracas clinic stated that they had enough medical supplies for emergency care, partly because of recent efforts to bring humanitarian aid to the country.[80]

The NGO Foro Penal denounced the arrests of military personnel as forced disappearances; security forces have refused to give information to their relatives and lawyers.[81]

In May 2019, Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) ordered the prosecution of seven National Assembly membersШаблон:Efn for their actions.[18][19] The National Assembly dismissed the sentence, holding that the members of the Tribunal are illegitimate and that their ruling violates the parliamentary immunity of the deputies.[82] National Assembly vice president Edgar Zambrano was arrested on 8 May, signaling a crackdown.[20] With these seven deputies charged with "treason, conspiracy, instigation of insurrection, civil rebellion, criminal conspiracy, usurpation of functions, and public instigation to the disobedience of the laws", an El País article stated that the Venezuelan parliament, elected to a majority in the 2015 elections, has been "systematically blocked" and dismembered by "political persecution" of 60% of its elected members.[21]Шаблон:Efn There was no preliminary merit hearing as required by law; an additional three deputies were indicted without a preliminary merit hearing.[21]Шаблон:Efn

The recently sanctioned members sough refuge in foreign embassies. Шаблон:Ill from Fearless People's Alliance (Шаблон:Lang-es) entered Argentina's embassy on 9 May. Hours later, Шаблон:Interlanguage link from Radical Cause (Шаблон:Lang-es) sought refuge at Italy's embassy, according to three sources close to him. Шаблон:Interlanguage link also took refuge in the Italian embassy.[83]

Defections

Manuel Cristopher Figuera publicly criticized Maduro and corruption in his government, yet recognized him as president and a "good man" ("un hombre bueno").[4] Cristopher Figuera stated that Diosdado Cabello, Delcy Rodríguez, Jorge Rodríguez, Tareck El Aissami, Maikel Moreno and Vladimir Padrino López continued supporting Maduro in order to maintain their power and status. After the uprising attempt, he was dismissed by Maduro and his whereabouts were unknown.[4] Maduro announced he would reinstate Gustavo González López as the SEBIN head.[84]

While he was under house arrest, Leopoldo López reportedly held meetings with military and high-level officials close to Maduro, allegedly promising them that they would maintain some positions in a transitional government and would not face criminal prosecution if they assisted with the removal of Maduro.[14][55] Some suggested that these officials served as double agents in order to support Maduro and disrupt the rebellion attempt.[55]

Maduro expelled from the military 54 members, in addition to Cristopher Figuera, who backed Guaidó, among them, "five lieutenant coronels, four majors, four captains, six first lieutenants and 35 sergeants"; 25 military personnel sought asylum in the Brazilian embassy in Caracas.[11] According to Voice of America, experts in the United States believe that "there is still a long way to go" for Guaidó to find support among the armed forces, stating that the Atlantic Council described the defection of National Guardsmen as "significant, but insufficient".[85]

Foreign intervention

Unnamed sources told CNN that the United States Department of State was caught off guard by Guaidó's decision to launch the "final phase" a day earlier than expected.[86] US President Donald Trump has expressed frustration that "some aides are more openly teasing military intervention", according to CNN, and expressed skepticism about the reliability of US intelligence that suggested that senior Maduro allies were preparing to defect.[87]

Bolton stated that Cuba and Russia had likely helped prop Maduro up during the day,[38] and U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to bring the "highest-level" sanctions on Cuba for their alleged role.[88] The New York Times wrote that Bolton "said important officials in the Maduro administration have been in communication with the opposition and had committed to achieving the transfer of power from Mr. Maduro to Mr. Guaidó", despite Moreno and Padrino both speaking out in support of Maduro.[53]

United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that Russia stopped plans underway for Maduro to exit Venezuela; Pompeo said Maduro had a plane waiting on the tarmac to take him to Cuba, but Russia convinced him to stay.[7][39] Maduro, Russia and some members of the opposition denied that Maduro had attempted to flee from Venezuela, with the Russian Foreign Ministry stating that, "Washington tried its best to demoralize the Venezuelan army and now use[s] fakes as a part of information war".[55][89] On 1 May, Pompeo stated "Military action is possible. If that's what's required, that's what the United States will do".[90] CNN reported that the Trump administration is seeking ways to give Guaidó control of more Venezuelan assets in the U.S., to help get funding and humanitarian aid to the country.[86]

Demonstrations

Шаблон:Main

Файл:Operación libertad, 1 de mayo.jpg
Protests in favor of the uprising, on 1 May.

A second day of protests occurred, in support of both Maduro and Guaidó, with the two leaders drawing in large numbers of Venezuelans.[91]

Judge Marisela Godoy walked out of a Venezuela Supreme Court (TSJ) hearing on 1 May that was to rule on the events of 30 April without the justices having access to the content of the ruling; Godoy said this had become a customary process in the TSJ, and she encouraged her colleagues to protest.[92]

Thousands to tens of thousands of supporters showed up for demonstrations on 1 May for Guaidó.Шаблон:Efn A smaller number attended Maduro's rival protest.Шаблон:Efn According to The New York Times, most Maduro supporters "appeared to be retirees or public sector workers" and many were "brought in from across the country by public buses".[93] According to the BBC, "For years, state employees have been told that if they did not turn up at government rallies, they would lose their jobs."[94] The protests supporting Maduro were mainly working-class Venezuelans.[91] During a speech, Guaidó called for continued protests in the coming days and the possibility of a general strike.[61] The National Guard dispersed many pro-Guaidó demonstrations at their starting points.[61]

Guaidó's call for the largest march in history did not materialize and his supporters were forced to retreat by security forces using tear gas. Colectivos fired on protestors with live ammunition, and one protester was shot in the head and killed.[72][93] Human Rights Watch "said it believed that security forces fired shotgun pellets at demonstrators and journalists".[95] Guaidó acknowledged he had received insufficient military backing,[95] but added that "Maduro did not have the support nor the respect of the Armed Forces",[96] and called for strikes beginning on 2 May, with the aim of a general strike later in the month.[93] Russia and the U.S. each charged the other with interference in another country's affairs.[95]

As of 2 May, there were 230 wounded in the protests,[17] and 205 arrests.[17] Four people had been killed[97]—all were shot.[98] The TSJ issued an arrest warrant for López on 2 May, who exited the gates of the Spanish Embassy, with his wife Lilian Tintori, to speak with reporters, saying that Maduro's days are numbered.[99] Maduro appeared at an army base to praise the loyalty of the forces.[94]

More protests and rallies were held during May; Guaidó acknowledged that he had "overestimated military support".[100] During an interview with The Washington Post, he stated that he would consider a U.S. military intervention should the time arise.[101][102]

On 11 May, Guaidó organized another march in Caracas, with a turnout of around a thousand Venezuelans.[103][104] During the rally, Guaidó asked his ambassador appointed to the United States, Carlos Vecchio, to start a dialog with the US Southern Command.[105]

Simonovis release

Iván Simonovis—a former police commissioner arrested in November 2004 and accused by the Hugo Chávez government of the violence that took place in Caracas during the April 2002 Llaguno Overpass events[106]—left house arrest on 17 May. Guaidó said that security forces loyal to him released Simonovis.[107] Guaidó claims that the order was sent on 30 April and that Simonovis was pardoned and freed as part of Operation Freedom.[108] One month later, Simonovis arrived in the United States.[109]

Reception

In a May poll by Datanálisis, 39% of respondents said that the events of 30 April were beneficial for Guaidó, about 29% said that the events strengthened Maduro, and the rest were undecided.[110] Half of respondents viewed Guaidó's actions as legitimate. One in three considered the event a coup d'état.[110] 49% judged the release of Leopoldo López as positive, while about 16% judged it as negative.[110]

By the end of 2019, The Washington Post considered the event as one of the greatest failures of Guaidó's movement. According to the newspaper, officials in the United States and the Venezuelan opposition have referred to the event as "Venezuela's Bay of Pigs".[111]

Some academics and media outlets would ultimately describe the event as a coup d'état.[8][9] The Nation would write, "Foreign outlets, dutifully supporting Trump administration calls for regime change, reported that a widespread uprising was underway, even though Juan Guaidó’s coup attempt had little support".[47]
