CARACAS, July 30 (Bernama-Sputnik) -- The opposition will not be able to create a political crisis in Venezuela, the country's president, Nicolas Maduro, said on Tuesday.
Addressing the nation, he showed photos and videos of the unrest taking place in the country.
"Are these the people who will govern Venezuela? So they want to come to power and take office? To unleash a civil war?" Maduro said.
"Crises serve for growth. They want to create a political crisis, they could not and will not be able to. Acts of violence and fascism will not happen. We will win," the president emphasised.
Maduro said that a joint meeting of the State Council and the National Security Council would be held on Tuesday to plan a major dialogue on economic, social, cultural, spiritual and political issues, reported Sputnik.
"All of Venezuela is invited. This is a sovereign dialogue, no one will dare to stick their nose into it. Enough. This page has already been turned. This is a dialogue between Venezuelans," Maduro emphasised.
The presidential election was held in Venezuela on Sunday, and Maduro won it. On Monday, protests began in Caracas, with clashes between the police and protesters. The Venezuelan government has declared that a number of countries had interfered in the election and in the people's right to self-determination.
