Anti-Coup Command

During meeting with leaders of the parties that form the pro-government coalition, the Gran Polo Patriótico, President Maduro announced that he will “reactivate” an Anti-Coup Command that will face the “destabilizing attacks of the Venezuelan right.”

The Command was first established by President Chávez in April 2012 to, according to the Agencia Venezolana de Noticias, “elaborate an integral anti-coup plan against the plots and pretensions of the bourgeoisie and the North American Empire to destabilize the country.”

“We are in the presence of, not only an economic war, but also a psychological and political war. This is a continued coup against the State and the People,” explained Maduro.
