PressTV: Venezuela's defense ministry has declared the army's loyalty to President Nicolas Maduro.

The announcement came after Maduro ordered troops into the streets ahead of a major protest by opponents seeking to oust him. Venezuela is bracing for what the opposition vows the mother of all protests on Wednesday. Maduro’s supporters have called for a counter-rally on the same day. This comes after two weeks of violent demonstrations against the leftist leader and his allies whom the opposition accuses of asserting their authority. The center-right opposition has also called on the military to turn on the president amid an economic and political crisis. President Maduro has blamed a US-orchestrated economic war for the crisis.
