Plan Ávila
Venezuelan military contingency plan / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plan Ávila is a military contingency plan by the Venezuelan Army to maintain public order in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas. The plan was first implemented in 1989 by the Carlos Andrés Pérez government in response to the Caracazo riots, where hundreds were killed by military and armed police as a result. President Hugo Chávez also ordered the plan to be activated in response to the 11 April 2002 events, but high-ranking members of the Armed Forces refused to carry out the plan, fearing to prevent a massacre like the Caracazo.
