TASS, August 5. President of the Venezuelan Constituent Assembly Diosdado Cabello tweeted on Saturday that the attempted murder of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was organized by the right political forces.
"The right-wing compatriots insist on violence to occupy the positions which [they] failed to gain through elections. Our brother President Nicolas Maduro and the supreme political and military command came to no harm in the terror attack. They won’t overcome us," Cabello stated.
An explosion occurred during the Venezuelan president’s speech at the 81st ceremony for the anniversary of the establishment of the Bolivarian National Guard. According to authorities, Maduro’s attempted murder was committed with the use of several drones with explosives. Seven Bolivarian National Guard members were injured in the explosion.
