and welcome to the program i'm in wrong on venezuela's president is hailing victory after what he calls an attempted coup nicolas maduro is promising to prosecute those behind a dramatic attempt to remove him from office on tuesday opposition leader one cold on the army to oust majority but by the end of the day i was in hiding and dozens of people were injured in scuffles with security forces both sides are doing that supporters to hold more protests has the backing of more than fifty countries including the united states which is calling for a peaceful transition of power but secretary of state warned military action is possible if that's what's required we'll get to our discussion in a moment but first this report from our latin america editor the see anyone. it was perhaps his boldest move yet opposition leader one wide all appearing before dawn in front of

a crack us air force base surrounded by some twenty five soldiers appealing to the military to join him by his side was leopoldo lopez perhaps than israel's most famous political prisoner he announced he'd been released to house arrest by security forces who turned against president nico last mughal commitment to defend freedom at with tyranny everyone out onto the street. opposition supporters answered the call but were pushed back by security forces dozens were injured in clashes between pro and anti-government groups. after he and lopez took part in a march by dog disappeared from sight amid nagging rumors that he would be arrested but come nightfall issued a new call from an undisclosed location venezuelans to rise up again. we will continue calling on the armed forces to take part in the final phase of operation liberty to rescue our dignity that is why on may one we will go back on

to the streets nationwide gathering in the areas we have already designated. president maduro responded on nationwide television surrounded by army officers whose continued support he depends on. this was truly a fake a minor a simulation and that's why eighty percent of the military and police who joined them in the beginning had left them by newt. but amid reports that his support may be cracking u.s. secretary of state might bump ale said had been about to step down and go to cuba but was dissuaded by russia another key ally. says that's rubbish and adding more fuel to the geopolitical crisis president donald trump is again pointing the finger. he is warning about unless it immediately withdraw what he calls military help to the mcdougall regime he will slap on what he is now describing as a full and complete embargo as well as height will be economic and financial

sanctions. and venezuela and mother who are both planning to mark international workers day with a major show of strength on the streets one to try to force the president from power the other to try to maintain. newman have. let's bring in our panel joining me on skype from miami roman former mayor of chuck our district which is an opposition stronghold in caracas from merida venezuela also on skype paul dobson journalist at venezuela analysis dot com and from work in the u.k. tom long professor of south american politics at work university welcome all to the program i want to bring in ramon which. first i saw on t.v. as we all did a very bold statement a very grand statement that the attempted coup was underway now he's in hiding is

this it for him as he finished. well no i mean what happened yesterday manish was. try by president way bill. to move forward and. the regime in a situation where the military around. will just need to recognize plato or as a precedent i mean this is not news to asian administrates it really hard and really difficult to understand many things moving at the same time but way too it's trying to push the military to change sites this is not easy we don't know if that's going to happen anytime soon but wait dog close your border not bits and it was easy it's frightening hard to reach that will let's bring in pulled over.

in venezuela poll madore must be thinking that he's got the upper hand right now. without a doubt i think the events of yesterday were can only be considered a failure for white zero five but only fifteen soldiers he did his call to rebel against their chain of command is definitely a victory for milo and the fact that mulroney didn't feel the need to come out and speak to the nation until the evening as well which shows that there are certain level of column within his office and it was definitely no panic from the government and i think they were definitely fear that it was a victory for their side yesterday so long in warrick madeira has the support of not only fifty countries but the u.s. has the support of the u.s. as well so fifty countries the u.s. yet still this coup seems to be faltering it's full of false starts in your opinion as a south american specialist is this just par for the course or would you think he's actually faltering and this is getting towards the end of the situation in

venezuela well i think there's been there's been a bit of a tendency to try to interpret what's happening in venezuela through a lens of great power politics that this is really about the u.s. russia and china squaring off in venice well or but i think the events of yesterday and really the events of the last few months show that the determinant factor is for what happens in minutes well are located within venezuela. and so i don't think that this situation is over yet though yesterday was not a good day for ford why though. but a lot of the underlying problems are still there and unchanged so a very interesting point ramon i want to bring you in here it's not quite the end but yesterday was a bad day for gordo seems to be what we're hearing right now but has he got the support within the country if this is about international power play between russia

china and the u.s. he needs the support internally do you think he has the support why has not shown itself. in greater number yet there's no doubt one way though has a very strong a large soup or popular support is for the most venezuelans want one change as you know we haven't been to meet all of our great humanitarian crisis what we saw yesterday was not act cool a tent but an attempt by the way bill to be recognized as a legitimate president and start the transition in venezuela transition to back to the mother city and to have fair elections that the main thing wedo has it's a strong bitter support he's not having military for yet and that's the only thing he really needs the only additional beam he needs to move forward and answers he should go back to the ma prosy and open venezuela to receive

international help and some find nancy that it's much needed to rebuild their country but again right now p. point military support way does not have the military support he needs yet we don't know how long will this take but there's no way to resolve the venezuelan crisis we don't gating without getting out of power i mean there's no way out of the humanitarian crisis and a political crisis with my little bit of york with motivate others will keep seeing the same he movie sic terror movie should i should say we have we're watching in venezuela but ramon if as you say he does have popular support the why hasn't that translated to support within the army soli the army know which way the wind is blowing. yeah well reason is that it's an it's a great question we don't have an army. in the state to share i

mean we haven't won a ministry that but there is not an army as an organized institution that it's under the constitution when we haven't you know there's a bunch of people with arms but they are at the end not to the constitution but to my doodle and to challenge me and to the revolution so that's that's a key point chavis systematically destroying they armed forces in venezuela and there's no way i mean it had been very difficult for them to react they have been trying i mean there's a lot of these going to incite the armed forces and we know that that these guys yesterday or oh it or a month ago we got our brave aswell rebellion we got the south and we have being you know a baby here and their military it's there before and they're like more than five hundred military in colombia they crossed the border to do noted to support away

goals so i mean there's a lot of these contained but for them but there's no way for them there's no way to transform that these contain inside the military can any state you know all of. us are to these from you know this additional move forward to get rid of a model and support waiting hold of sun and let me bring you in here rome only to is saying it's just a matter of time the army will change its mind and this is about tactics and just in some ways a waiting game to believe that. i think no i think any change in the political line of an estimate has to come to elections has to come through the ballot box and its way to one of the meant democratic countries in the world with around twenty elections in the last eighteen or nineteen yes. all of these elections have been observed by and independent international observers have declared to be free and fair and so i think if the venezuelans want to change the political course of a country they have accountant do it and there's a through an election. as

a way to have free elections in venezuela and like the last elections we had all these problems started when my little try to sworn in as president after i mean lections it was not recognized by the democratic were i mean there's no way to ask for elections in venezuela. just in a way and we now you know recognize their position to see how they are from or to see in the last elections even to get all of us for example or do they get up to this main opposition leaders were now i'm able to even run ask candidates for sent them sell me there's that's what's going on i'm going to spread out so we need to get rid of my good always that dictator and then start transition that would get us to free and fair elections we international community monitoring that and let me bring in let me bring it home long ahead we've heard both of our guests that pro and mentor a point of view will probably get a point of view but we've heard the words peaceful transition of power there needs

to be elections in your opinion why didn't that happen before and is it possible with the political landscape as it currently is. well i would say that political scientists are largely in agreement that elections in venice will have gotten less free and fair for all sorts of reasons. as a sort of gradual process of the consolidation of power by the chinese government. one point regarding the military as well i think it's important to remember that the military is not a monolithic institution either in terms of how it is organized or in terms of the politics of people within the military so part of the events of yesterday were not just to see whether the military as a whole would swing one way or the other but to see whether the military might

might fragments or indeed whether divisions within the my little government would would come to the light. coming back to your question about a negotiated transition yes i think that it is possible still. after the events of yesterday the immediate context for it is not particularly favorable. and that is some sort of a negotiation in which my ludo would allow greater representation of the opposition . first of all it's not clear for years that modo has been interested in doing anything along those lines but the events of yesterday give him very little motivation to do so unless he's given a strong push in that direction by other figures within the government or the military that's a very interesting point pull and i want to bring you in hey if he's so confident and mature is so confident that he has the populace most of the people want to just

call the election and be done with it. well i think that some extent it's a question of pride venezuela has its constitution a venice whale has a selection is why should he call new elections just because donald trump and john bolton are calling and rama charts are quite advanced that do say venezuela has three elections last year and to some extent the venezuelans had their opportunity to l.a. they had two left wing candidate two write in candidate the fact that some party decided not to participate doesn't mean it doesn't necessarily mean that elections were unfair there was an opportunity for everyone to participate within the realms of venezuelan law so mother a basically says why do we need to you know we're we're not we're not anybody black white we're no a colony of the united states we had our elections and our laws said that these are the monday now last until two thousand and twenty five unless there is a recall referendum for a long research what's your response to that. well you just let me point out that

they are going to say tional american stages keep it out mother was representative and welcome that i would say no way though representative. for representing now the benefit of the government because let the governments of the region just read that mags full of glee that there were not elections not favorite elections in many square so you know that's a very hard fact it's very unusual to see something like these apennine ever being in you know a place like they're going to say shut up american states but very very are going to there is no democracy that is so that there were no when elections there's no way to happen let's do it looks and we need to get my little out of power to be able to move to a transition back to the moxy it's a real i mean some very heart fact told long and. taking this broadening is how to read to the regional governments they must be looking at venezuela right now and

wondering one earth is going on but wondering what influence they have who are the big players and what are the what are they looking for as an outcome for venezuela . well i think one of the immediate outcomes that countries in south america are concerned about is the refugee crisis if you look at a country like colombia it's had more than a million venezuelans come across the border and this is a huge issue for colombia colombia of course is going through its own peace process and instability in the border regions many of which were at the center of the colombian conflict and continued to be at the center of all sorts of dynamics of organized crime contribute to instability and make it really difficult to consolidate any sort of a meaningful peace so that's a massive issue for colombia for brazil but really really for the entire region so stability is paramount also you certainly have countries with ideological interests

at stake that's become very clear in brazil with the positioning of. nato as well as the p.t. where venezuela has essentially become an extension of domestic political battles within within brazil so this is a this is a huge issue for different for different reasons but perhaps one where those countries are exercising less influence then than they they had they had hoped. part of that is because as long as the government is able to continue to have access to some sort of resources through the sale of oil even if that's the minish and it's able to maintain a relatively high degree of control over the armed forces it's able to consolidate and hold on to its position of defacto power with within venezuela quite

effectively let me bring in ramon. ramon one of the outcomes that certainly the u.s. is discussing in a wide ascends rather than a. congressional or political sense is this idea that troops should u.s. troops may well intervene within the venezuelan conflict the venezuelan situation right now you don't want this to turn into an armed conflict in venezuela just for the sake of getting greta into power he. is out of if i got your question. if it's about the possibility of the us using force or simply troops to banish way that i think that. it's a very deep i mean it will be very difficult to get to the point i think sending troops to venezuela right now it's it will be part of a larger debate in the middle of a political competing in the us i don't think i don't see the u.s.

government sending troops to venezuela anytime soon and being mother riggs counting on that and i think the russians and the cubans are counting on that too so that's probably why those seems loose so relaxed. about what's going on i think he's really really sure that will never happen and colombia. your other guest was saying except that they are there is suffering for the migrant crisis but they are more than willing to keep a deal with that crisis instead of sending troops to venice way that a lot members feel are farther much farther than the u.s. from passivity this so i'm not i don't see i don't foresee any action force a b. c. and any international troops are going to vanish way that any time soon however i

do think that's a possibility that should remain on the table and that we i mean i don't see any other way to get rid of muddle by the way i mean this is so hard so complex i don't see any other way to get out of model right now pull those then there's no other way of getting rid of madhura unless there's a real military options on the table by the u.s. as madore worried about this. well i mean this is a position from a coup monger and he saw a democrat would say elections but you know we've already talked about it so i think you know i think by the order is definitely worried about the threats of u.s. action both overt and covert we can't really talk about u.s. intervention in venezuela without to grant covert action as well which has been going on for some time. for example we only saw today the u.s. have found low flying across in venezuela neath base which is a traditionally historically them is a precursor to airstrikes so this is

a very worrying piece of news coming out of the white house but the main point here in iran is the following are the u.s. generally preparing for some sort of armed intervention in venezuela or all these sorts of actions have taken taking mere pressure tactics to try to change the dynamics of power internally in venezuela intervene let's say without actually pulling the trigger this is a question which we're trying to figure out here in venezuela and most venezuelans the vast majority of us don't opposed to any sort of foreign intervention be it american colombian brazilian or from any other country so this will be definitely meet great resistance if the u.s. does decide to send troops on the ground to venezuela solo work so is the russian u.s. and chinese role helpful tool in the situation. no i don't think it's particularly helpful in finding a resolution certainly u.s. saber rattling i think is intended to create this sort of a shadow of

a threat to see whether that will change some minds in and out of motherhood directly so much as the minds of those who surround him. but i don't think it's likely to be a particularly effective threat u.s. threats yesterday against cuba i think are very unlikely to change cuba's position in venice where the and russia which has to my mind largely used in a swell as a way to to poke a finger in the united states i. is not taking on a particularly helpful role here either you know there are some serious proposals to try to act as as mediators from the lima group or from mexico into why the problem with that has been that there is a total lack of trust between the two sides who would be sitting across the table from one another and for some for some very good reasons. the opposition doesn't

feel like like previous negotiations with moto were really done in in good faith but having the united states kind of rattling the saber at venezuela doesn't make it much easier to to start that process of dialogue either i just want to thank all of our guests we are running out of time on the charter poll dogs and along thank you very much and thank you as well for ching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and further discussion goes well facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story and you can also join the conversation on twitter handle is at a.j. inside story for me among and the whole team here i think. i.
