ANAA, March 11 (Saba) - The White House national security adviser John Bolton said in a television interview yesterday night that Venezuelan military soldiers are communicating with members of parliament on how to support the opposition.
"There is a lot of talk going on between members of the Venezuelan parliament and military elements in Venezuela about what can happen and how they can move to support the opposition," Bolton said in an interview with ABC television.
Bolton's announcement follows the rally of thousands of Brazilians in Caracas in demonstrations against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and a major power cut that has plunged Caracas and most of the country's cities into darkness for four days.
Meanwhile, supporters of Maduro took part in demonstrations in support of the president, who accused "imperialism" of causing his country's crises.
Maduro had said the power failure was caused by an "electronic attack" on the electronic monitoring system at Gori Electric Station, which supplies Venezuela with 80 percent of electricity.
