Venezuelan President Maduro's son, congressman Guerra, on the 4th called on the Venezuelan people to take to the streets to protest the arrest of his father by US forces and his transfer to a prison in New York.
The 35-year-old Guerra released a strongly-worded message on social media, saying: "You will see us holding high the flag of dignity. They want to make us look weak, but we will not show weakness."
He called on the Venezuelan people to unite, remain mobilized, and defend the nation's sovereignty.
He stated, "President Maduro will return."
Responding to external speculation that Maduro may have been betrayed by people within his inner circle, leading to his arrest and extradition to the United States, Guerra said: "History will tell who the traitors are. History will reveal it. We shall see."
Guerra is Maduro's only biological son; Maduro later adopted the three children of his second wife, Flores.
Some of Maduro's supporters took to the streets of Caracas on the 4th to show their support for him. They waved Venezuelan flags and held posters bearing Maduro's portrait.
