"We declare, with all responsibility, that we adhere to our oath to defend our people and enforce the laws and the constitution of our republic." For this reason, we do not know Nicolás Maduro Moro as president of Venezuela and commander-in-chief of the Force. Bolivarian National Army: We alert the international community to the usurpation of the presidency of the republic, "Hidalgo said in the statement.
Likewise, the Venezuelan lieutenant affirmed that "based on the constitution" Juan Guaidó recognizes "in his capacity as president of the National Assembly as interim president of Venezuela " and endorses "the decisions that, within the framework of the constitution, he decides to take for the restitution of the constitutional order ".
