The governor of Zulia state, Luis Caldera, denounced what he called a treacherous and illegal attack perpetrated by the Donald Trump administration against the sovereignty of the Republic.

He denounced the detention of President Maduro and the First Lady as a kidnapping that flagrantly violates all the norms of the United Nations system and international law.

The governor assured that the people of Zulia will not yield to foreign pressure and will remain steadfast in their struggle until democratic order is restored and Maduro and Cilia are freed.

In Lara state, Governor Luis Reyes also called on the people to remain in the streets in defense of the homeland, declaring that they had moved “from unarmed to armed struggle.”

Reyes asserted that the U.S. government perpetrated a “criminal aggression against strategic targets in Caracas, Miranda, La Guaira, and Aragua,” and emphasized that “this audacity will cost them dearly.”

In Barquisimeto, Lara state, people took to the streets to gather in Bolivar Square and condemn the airstrikes that occurred early this morning, against civilian and military installations.

Images showed widespread destruction, such as at Fort Tiuna in Caracas.

The governor of La Guaira state, Alejandro Teran, revealed that at least 10 missiles struck medicine warehouses in that area.
