Venezuela, Maduro crushes military coup

An attempted military coup against Maduro was quickly put down in Venezuela by the regime's police. Seven arrested.

In the meantime, opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, who was imprisoned last week, is back under house arrest. Just as the dismissal and flight by motorcycle of the Attorney General, Luisa Ortega Diaz, continues to arouse in Venezuela and in the world, she continues to believe the Constituent Assembly desired by President Maduro to suffocate the opposition is completely illegitimate.

In the last few hours, Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni has also intervened on the drama in Venezuela, calling for a European response to Maduro's authoritarian drift.
