As Minister of Defense, Ochoa Antich had to face several coup d'état attempts in 1992.Шаблон:Citation needed In January 1992, he began to respond to rumors that there was a coup d'etat being planned by Hugo Chávez, then a major in the military. Despite Ochoa Antich's advice that the matter be addressed directly, Pérez dismissed the rumors.[2] On February 3, 1992, Pérez returned from a trip to Switzerland, and when alerted about an uprising in Caracas, he neglected to inform Ochoa Antich, and instead went to rest, before moving several hours later to Miraflores Palace. Later that night,[3] on February 4 a group of military men led by Chavez attempted a coup against Pérez.[2] Chávez used tanks and paratroopers to take control of the palace and presidential residence.[3] When dealing with the crisis, Ochoa Antich remained the loyal defense minister of Pérez. Although his actions resulted in quelling the conflict and saving the president's life, Ochoa Antich would later state that allowing Chávez to speak on public television was a "mistake," stating "I was responsible, I authored it, I was wrong," as it allowed Chávez to gain political success in the future[2] over Perez.[4]
