other opponents they rejected the facts and called the violent situation “an ambush.”
The former anti-Chavista deputy, Freddy Guevara, who celebrated that Guaidó continued with the tour despite the aggression, showed photographs in which he identifies some of the participants in the violent acts, as well as Guaidó himself leaving an establishment held by several people and with a torn shirt.
Hours before the attack, Guaidó had published several messages on his Twitter account in which he made reference to the visit to Cojedes and showed, in videos, the reception that some of the inhabitants of this region gave him.
“While the dictatorship cannot see the face of the people, we are in the streets of all of Venezuela and we will remain here. Despite the threats, we are moved by the defense of democracy, of Venezuela and of the family that we are going to recover,” Guaidó wrote.
Last Saturday, Guaidó denounced a “regime attack”as he usually defines the government of Nicolás Maduro, to the activities he had planned with supporters during a visit to Zulia state (northwest), bordering Colombia.
The opponent could not comply with a planned walk, because a group of people who identified themselves as “revolutionaries” attacked opposition sympathizers who were organizing a citizen assembly, which generated a confrontation in which there were shoves and both sides threw themselves objects.
