The US is behind the attempted coup in Venezuela – that is the
accusation President Nicolas Maduro has leveled amid widespread protests back
home. And it's none other than Vice-president Joe Biden who's behind the entire
operation, Maduro alleges.
This is the first time a direct accusation of this gravity was made in
front of thousands of cheering spectators and the world at large, despite an
earlier Friday statement, when Maduro struck out at several US federal agencies
for allegedly plotting against Venezuela.
'The northern imperial power has entered a dangerous phase of
desperation, going to talk to the continent's governments to announce the
overthrow of my government. And I accuse Vice-president Joe Biden of this,' the
head of state said, addressing the people at the 198th anniversary of the birth
of a Venezuelan hero general Zamora in Cua, Miranda state.
