Venezuela marks the 20th anniversary of the failure of the coup against Chavez

Tens of thousands of Venezuelans marked the twentieth anniversary of the failure of the coup against the late President Hugo Chavez 20 years ago, with a massive rally in Caracas.

During the rally on April 13th, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said: “Twenty years have passed since the April Revolution, since the historic defeat of the coup against our people and against President Hugo Chavez.”

 

President Maduro added: “ On this day twenty years ago, Venezuela gave a historical lesson to imperialism so depicting  global rights.” Chavez was ousted from power for less than 48 hours after a military coup carried out by the opposition led by businessmen loyal to the United States.

On the 13th of April, a group of the army managed to free Chavez and return him to the presidency amid massive demonstrations in support of him.
