The communists have been seeking to take control of the country for a long time so this historical record takes relevance given the state Venezuela is currently in.

El Porteñazo was an uprising by members of the Venezuela military that wanted the country to follow Cuba in terms of its policies. Since Betancourt refused to do that, the extreme left made several attempts to take down his government. The fightings ended with over 400 dead and many more wounded. These are the very same people in power today.
