Venezuelan Gov't Denies Takeover of La Carlota Air Base as part of Coup Attempt

President of the National Constituent Assembly of Venezuela Diosdado Cabello denied the capture of La Carlota Air Base after a small group of soldiers revolted to promote a coup d'état with the far right against the government of Nicolas Maduro. 

"No military installation has been violated in the country, they are on the street in the Altamira Distributor and we are directing operations from La Carlota Air Base," he explained.

Likewise, the national government has called on the Venezuelan people to move to the Miraflores presidential palace to reject the coup attempt.

Early this Tuesday Vice President of Communication, Jorge Rodríguez, reported that a group of soldiers were located in the Altamira distributor, in eastern Caracas, to promote a coup along with the far right.
