Venezuelans fear the scenario of US military intervention 1
(Dan Tri) – Not only senior leaders in the opposition but many people are still arguing about the consequences of the possibility of US military intervention in Venezuela in the current crisis context.
Venezuela is in chaos because of the opposition’s coup plan
Supporters surrounded opposition leader Guaido’s car during a protest on April 30.
In a context where Venezuela is in a crisis with the economy stagnating, a citizen like Pasqual Paulino saw rays of hope when opposition leader Juan Guaido launched a coup to overthrow the government.
Although disappointed that the coup was unsuccessful, Paulino, an 18-year-old law student, is worried about one more thing that could make the situation in Venezuela worse.
“We don’t want that.
Although the White House and the Pentagon are still debating the wisdom of the decision to intervene militarily in Venezuela after self-proclaimed president Juan Guaido’s unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the Maduro government, this possibility is increasingly likely.
Although the coup launched by the self-proclaimed president failed, some senior leaders in the Venezuelan opposition still oppose US military intervention to bring down the Maduro government.

Some street protesters say US intervention is now the only way to overthrow President Maduro.
Self-proclaimed President Guaido has called on his supporters to continue to increase pressure on President Maduro through protests and strikes.
“We tried, we took to the streets, but the army was still too afraid to turn its back on Mr. Maduro.
According to political analyst Felix Seijas, director of the public opinion polling center in Caracas, less than one in five Venezuelans surveyed this year said they support military intervention.
“Those who support military intervention say that at this point, they see this as the only remaining option.
The Venezuelan military has so far declared its loyalty to President Maduro and has not heeded the call of opposition leader Juan Guaido.
According to Mr. Valero, opposition leaders in Venezuela are meeting to plan the next roadmap, including attracting the poor people in Venezuela – who have so far remained largely on the sidelines while the elite
In addition, Mr. Valero believes that the coordination between the US, Europe and Latin American countries in the fight against the Maduro government will continue in the near future.
President Maduro is still calling for people’s patriotism to cope with the US government’s threatening moves.
“The (US) administration is focused on dividing us and saying there is a civil war in Venezuela.
