Maduro and the Chavists have taken to the streets for a show of strength in front of the United States
More than four million people have taken to the streets, and the president has called on the people to commit themselves to defending their homeland.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and the main leaders of chavismo took to the streets of the country on Saturday after the US announced Operation South Lance to supposedly combat drug trafficking in Latin America.
Maduro has participated in an oath ceremony organized by the new militants in Caracas with his wife, Congresswoman Cilia Flores.
The Minister of the Interior and Secretary-General of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, has described the day as "extraordinary" and has reported that more than 4.5 million people across the country have mobilized.
After singing John Lennon's "Imagine" and accusing Donald Trump's government of wanting to "bomb and invade" Venezuela, Maduro has asked his supporters in\ u00A0to "put their hand on the heart" and commit themselves to defending the country.
The Head of State has described November 15 as a "historic day" because he has seen that the people are "awake, ready and ready" to face "any threat and criminal attack."
According to this, 235,000 committeeshave been formed throughout the territory, although the authority initially announced 260,000 committees.
According to the government party, these committees are groups of at least nine militants "on every street in the country" who must, among other things, draw up a "permanent agenda of defensive preparation".
For her part, opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado has urged Venezuelan officials to "lay down their arms when the time comes" and help achieve the country's "freedom."
Imagine "for peace"
Nicolas Maduro has been encouraged to sing the song " Imagine the Beatles "in his speech to millions of followers.
Everyone here is encouraged to follow the song "In the Name of Peace".
