VENEZUELAN President Nicolas Maduro accused the US diplomatic corps on Tuesday of fomenting foreign intervention against his country.
He called for a mass demonstration on Sunday in opposition to Washington-backed destabilisation.
Speaking at a televised cabinet meeting, Mr Maduro said the US State Department had instructed its embassies in the region and beyond to press governments to turn against Caracas.
