Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has announced a “day of dialogue” to be held over the weekend, in an effort to fix some of the mistakes his government has made “since the Revolution.”


Addressing a crowd in Caracas during the International Labor Day celebrations, the president accused the US-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido of trying to trigger a civil war in Venezuela.



"The Venezuelan coup leaders not only deceived themselves, but also deceived US imperialists, saying that I was going to leave the country," Maduro said, referring to statements from Washington that he was about to flee to Cuba.


"What would have happened if we had confronted those coup plotters? A massacre among Venezuelans, we would have killed ourselves and in Washington they would have celebrated," he said.
