Venezuela’s Interior Minister, Néstor Luis Reverol, has denounced this Sunday an attempt of “maritime invasion” by “terrorists” from Colombia who sought to generate instability and ultimately provoke a coup.
“In the early hours of today, May 3, 2020, a group of terrorist mercenaries from Colombia tried to carry out an invasion by sea,” Reverol said, appearing on public television.
This attack was “for the purpose of committing terrorist acts in the country, assassinations of leaders of the Revolutionary Government, increasing the spiral of violence, generating chaos in the population and thereby leading to a new attempted coup.”
