Photos posted by the Venezuelan interior minister on Monday night show armed police deployed on the streets of Caracas, as part of security arrangements in the city.

Diosdado Cabello is seen in photos posted on Instagram, posing with security force members, many of whom are holding automatic guns.

In one video, the security members can be seen shouting "loyal always, traitors never!"

One of the posts says the minister toured some areas of the Venezuelan capital on Monday night to monitor the security forces.
