«Breaking News» Venezuelan soldiers call for coup against Maduro before being arrested

A group of Venezuelan soldiers have been arrested after stealing weapons and calling for a couple against President Nicolas Maduro on social media.

The military officials stole arms from a National Guard outpost after a sergeant had called for the removal of the country's leader.

The armed forces said that it had captured all those involved in what it described as 'treasonous' acts motivated by 'obscure interests tied to the far right.' 

Hours later, security forces fired tear gas against protesters in a poor neighbourhood just two miles from Venezuela's presidential palace.

The disturbance early on Monday started after a group of men dressed in military fatigues and carrying assault weapons published a series of videos on social media saying they won't recognise Maduro's government.

Maduso's administration has come under increasing domestic and international pressure over a newly launched second term that the opposition-controlled congress and many nations consider illegitimate.

In one of the videos, a man identifying himself as third Sergeant Figueroa, addressing the 'people of Venezuela,' urges his compatriots to take to the streets to show support for their rebellion. 

'You asked to take to the streets to defend the constitution, well here we are,' he said in a video shot at night in which several heavily armed men and a national guard truck can be seen in the background.

'You wanted us to light the fuse, so we did. We need your support,' he added.

Venezuela's government said a small group of guardsmen took captive a captain in charge of a police station in western Caracas and then moved across the capital in two military trucks to the poor neighborhood of Petare, where they stole a cache of weapons from another outpost.

They met resistance and were caught hours later at a national guard outpost 3 2 miles from the Miraflores presidential palace. The armed forces said all the weapons had been recovered and the mutinous troops captured.

In the adjacent neighbourhood of Cotiza, a small group of residents could be seen banging pots and pans, burning trash and throwing rocks at police officers stationed outside the national guard post.

'We must defend our homeland,' Maria Fernanda Rodriguez, a 36-year-old manicurist, told The Associated Press, her eyes welling from the tear gas.

Juan Guaido, president of the congress, said the incident is a sign of growing discontent within the armed forces.

'Our military knows that the command chain is broken by the usurpation of the presidency,' Guaido said in a message on Twitter in which he reiterated a promise to support all members of the armed forces working to restore Venezuela's democratic order.

Pressure has been mounting on Maduro to cede power after he began as second, six-year term this month. 

The U.S. and dozens of other foreign governments consider it illegitimate, in part because he banned several leading opponents from running against him.

While discontent among Venezuelans is rising amid widespread food shortages and hyperinflation, Maduro is believed to have the loyalty of his top military command. In the past troops have easily put down small uprisings.

Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez said on Twitter that those responsible for the incident would be punished with the full force of the law.

The armed...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
