Venezuela's Guaido calls for 'largest march in history' in uprising effort

26 Sept 08:13 Key points summarised by AI

Opposition leader Juan Guaido called for the "largest march" in Venezuela's history and urged the military to oust President Nicolas Maduro, following an earlier unsuccessful attempt to gain military support.
Despite Guaido's efforts and backing from the U.S. and Western nations, Venezuela's military leadership has largely remained loyal to Maduro, who is supported by allies like Russia, China, and Cuba.
The planned march on International Workers' Day serves as a critical test for Guaido's ability to mobilize support amidst Venezuela's severe economic crisis, marked by hyperinflation, shortages, and blackouts.
President Maduro, labeling Guaido a U.S. puppet, also called for a counter-march of his own supporters, intensifying the political standoff.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
