Fox News
Nicolás Maduro was captured by U.S. forces after military strikes on Venezuela, President Donald Trump announced Saturday, prompting opposition leader to call for power transfer.
"The hour of freedom has arrived," wrote in a post on X. "This is the hour of the citizens. Those of us who risked everything for democracy on July 28th. Those of us who elected Edmundo González Urrutia as the legitimate President of Venezuela, who must immediately assume his constitutional mandate and be recognized as Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces by all the officers and soldiers who comprise it."
It remained unclear Saturday whether senior commanders have shifted allegiance or whether the opposition has secured control of state institutions.
