Venezuela

Nicolas Maduro has been in the United States since yesterday. Images from the DEA headquarters in New York show the Venezuelan president's journey from Caracas to the federal prison in Brooklyn, where Maduro spent his first night in prison.

The Hegoak Internationalist Platform, made up of various political, trade union and social actors, has convened the rallies under the slogan "No to imperialist aggression.

Venezuela could soon become the world's oil power if licensed to international companies, as Trunpe predicted. But black gold is not the only goal: the Latin American country also has large reserves of minerals, natural gas, nickel, and coltan.

"Trump has begun his imperialist plan with the aim of benefiting the extreme right and the powerful," said Igor Zulaika, EH Bildu's Head of International Policy and Relations. "We have come together for peace, democracy and the right to self-determination."

For the platform, the Venezuelan president has been "a person who has caused a lot of suffering," and the US operation has aroused "hope."

The Venezuelan Supreme has replaced Delcy Rodriguez, but Trump has said the US will lead the country "until a safe, adequate, and sensible transition is made."

The Boeing 757 military aircraft carrying Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro landed at around 23:00 this Saturday in New York. The leftist leader has descended from the plane with his head covered, surrounded by agents.

In early 2013, Maduro's career changed radically as he became president of Venezuela. Chavez died on March 5 and elections were called, in which Maduro won 51% of the vote, defeating Henrique Capriles.

Venezuela's only legitimate president, Nicolas Maduro, stressed on Saturday that the executive vice president of Venezezuela, after being arrested by US military forces.

Hundreds of Venezuelans have taken to the streets in broad daylight in the capital, Caracas, demanding the release of Maduro and his return to Venezuela.

The largest concentration has taken place next to the Miraflores Palace, the seat of the Venezuelan Government. 

"Following Maduro's refusal to accept a negotiated exit, the US Government has kept its promise to enforce the law. It is time for the sovereignty of the people and national sovereignty to prevail in our country," he said.

"We will rule that country as long as there is a safe, adequate and reasonable transition. In other words, we do not want Maduro to be replaced by anyone and to repeat the situation we have had in recent years," he said at a press conference from his headquarters in Florida.

The call has been disseminated through social networks and will take place this Sunday from 12.30 p.m. on the Boulevard of San Sebastián, in front of the Venezuelan consulate in Bilbao and in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento de Pamplona, and half an hour later they will meet in the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca de Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Thousands of people from Venezuela live in the Basque Country, many of whom are opposed to Nicolas Maduro's government. They are hopeful about what happened and hope for a peaceful transition.

PNV and EH Bildu call for "respect for international law"  The PSE-EE does not make statements and the PP calls for "prudence". According to Podemos Euskadi, "violence cannot be considered a political instrument and attacks cannot be justified.

Although it has been described as an attack on drug trafficking, experts believe that Trump's real goal is to bring about political change in Venezuela.

Russia has denounced an "armed attack" with "unfounded excuses," Spain has called for "de-escalation and moderation," and the Argentine president has celebrated the attack.

U.S. President Donald Trump reported the news through social media.
