Díaz-Canel reaffirms support for President Nicolás Maduro

"I saw your appearance before the press on teleSUR, and I congratulate you again, Brother Nicolás Maduro," declared Miguel Díaz-Canel, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba.

The Cuban head of state assured that the U.S. recognition of the losing candidate of the elections of last July 28th is another proof of who is pulling the strings of the conspiracy against the Bolivarian Revolution.

Maduro denounced in a press conference this Friday that the United States is at the forefront of the attempted coup against him.

According to the Venezuelan president, he activated the mechanism before the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) to clarify all the lies on which they intend to mount a cyber coup against the people and against democracy.

"The United States of America has put itself at the forefront of this coup d'état with its usual allies," he reiterated from the Miraflores Palace.

He added that Venezuela has suffered a brutal attack, a cyber attack on its entire communication system; today they attacked the Patria System.
