Through the social network X, the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, recalled that the coup d'etat 22 years ago against then-President Hugo Chávez began with a call for a national strike by the country's business sectors.

“22 years ago, with a call for a national strike, North American imperialism, together with its allies from the old politics and the Creole bourgeoisie, activated the coup plan that revealed its criminal and fascist nature; they are the same people who today are asking for “sanctions” and who will once again clash against the infinite conscience of the people,” he said Tuesday on the social network.

In addition, in the audiovisual he shared, he specified that Pedro Carmona Estanga, who was leading the strike, was in charge of Fedecamaras; Carlos Ortega, president of the Confederation of Workers of Venezuela (CTV) and Father Luis Ugalde.

He also explained that in 2002 the then President of the United States, George W. Bush, had declared war on the world. “They began to develop their plans to put an end to the world's independent governments, but especially to eradicate the Bolivarian Revolution and kill Commander Hugo Chávez,” he said.

He stressed that “these were the beginning of a conspiracy campaign and that they used as a trigger for the events of April 11, which later led to the April revolution on 12, 13 and 14.”
