Venezuela: Right accelerates plan to oust Maduro
President flies in to meet defence chiefs as protests erupt

VENEZUELAN President Nicolas Maduro was set to meet defence chiefs yesterday as the opposition accelerated its regime change plan.

Mr Maduro called a meeting of the National Defence Council (Codena) after flying in from his diplomatic tour of Opec nations on Tuesday.

The country was braced for protests yesterday by the right-wing, US-backed Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) coalition, ominously dubbed the “Taking of Venezuela.”
