President Nicolás Maduro said on Friday it is "obvious" that the US government seeks to "overthrow" his government through the protests hitting Venezuela since February.
"It is clear: the United States has openly taken over the leadership of the overthrow of the Government of Venezuela. Consequently, the US Government is currently the hostage to the lobby of Republicans and the right-wing in Miami," said Maduro in a press conference with local and foreign press.
"Take it easy... You are pushing President (Barack) Obama to the edge of a cliff," because you are failing to promote political destabilization in Venezuela, Maduro told the lobbyists.
Further, Maduro acknowledged "abuses" and "excesses" have been perpetrated, adding that 21 officers have been arrested and are facing trial.
He added that "only" 558 students remain in jail, out of 1,529 detainees. Maduro explained that 150 people will remain in custody because they were arrested while carrying firearms.
"Every message sent by the US Government is intended to fuel the flame of violence that is put off every day" thanks to the work of the police and the military," said Maduro, DPA reported.
