OREANDA-NEWS. The Venezuelan president called on the authorities to point out the desired changes in order to "correct the mistakes in the middle of the battle." Such a statement Maduro made after the mass protests at the beginning of the week. Venezuelan authorities should share suggestions on what the country needs to change, said President Nicolas Maduro, whose words are quoted on the website of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) he heads. Maduro called for a "national day of dialogue, action and proposals" on May 4 and 5. According to the president, he is waiting for proposals for "a great plan for change within the Bolivarian revolution." “I want to adopt a plan to change everything, improve everything, correct mistakes in the middle of the battle,” said Maduro.

The appeal is addressed to the PSUV, regional authorities, and the Alliance of the Great Patriotic Pole of Simon Bolivar. Maduro asked them to tell him their priorities for the change plan. On Tuesday, April 30, mass protests took place in Venezuela. This happened after the speaker of the National Assembly, Juan Guaido, who declared himself the interim head of state in January, announced the start of the last stage of Operation Freedom, aimed at “ending usurpation”. According to Guayido, the main military units of the Republican Armed Forces joined him.

On April 30, Venezuela’s opposition leader Juan Guaido announced the final stage of Operation Freedom against incumbent President Nicolas Maduro. Human rights activists reported that about 150 people were detained during the protest actions. Another demonstrator died, wrote Guayido on Twitter. On May 1, Maduro announced that the authorities had succeeded in stopping the attempted coup d'etat initiated by the former mayor of Caracas, the founder of the Social Democratic Party of the People's Will, Leopoldo Lopez.
