Maduro warns he is preparing with Cuba and Nicaragua to ‘take up arms’ in the event of an intervention
The Venezuelan leader responds defiantly to the request for international action against him made by former Colombian presidents Álvaro Uribe and Iván Duque
On the first day of his third term, Nicolás Maduro has warned that he is preparing an armed offensive with Cuba and Nicaragua in response to alleged foreign interventions. “We are preparing ourselves together with Cuba and Nicaragua and together with our older brothers in the world so that if one day we have to take up arms and defend the right to peace and sovereignty, we will fight in an armed struggle and win again. We are not lukewarm leaders, we are the Bolivarian revolution,” he said during the closing of the second meeting of the World Festival of the Antifascist International, whose international delegates filled the seats of many representatives of democratic countries that turned their backs on him during the swearing-in ceremony.
