Maduro has “defeated” Guaidó and his supporters - The Guardian / AP
|The Guardian is reporting that Venezuela’s UN ambassador has claimed Maduro has “defeated” Guaidó and his supporters and that the “country is right now in a situation of perfect normality”, the Associated Press reports.
Samuel Moncada said Maduro has “taken the necessary steps to guarantee the security and right to peace of our people”, adding: “We have defeated them.”
Moncada says the UN Security Council should discuss Tuesday’s call by Guaidó for a military uprising against Maduro.
He also criticises the UN secretary general, Antonio Guterres, for not openly supporting Maduro’s government. Earlier in the day, Guterres urged all sides in Venezuela to exercise “maximum restraint,” avoid any violence, take immediate steps to restore calm, and resolve differences peacefully through dialogue.
