Supporters, media, and diplomats from allied countries mobbed Guaido on his arrival at the international airport in Caracas.
Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, whom many nations have recognised as the country’s rightful interim ruler, reacts during a rally held by his supporters against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s government in Caracas, Venezuela, Mar 4, 2019.
Venezuelans holding aloft flags, crosses and portraits of their young leader chanted: “Guaido! Guaido!” and “Yes you can!” Pompeo said in a statement that “the international community must unite and push for the end of Maduro’s brutal regime.”Guaido left Venezuela 10 days ago in an unsuccessful bid to force through desperately needed humanitarian aid stockpiled in Colombia.Guaido’s reappearance in Venezuela poses a direct challenge to Maduro, who had said the opposition leader would face justice when he returned.
The high command has professed absolute loyalty to Maduro, however, and troops have blockaded border crossings to prevent the entry of humanitarian aid, supplied mostly by the United States. Venezuela is in the midst of an economic upheaval after four years of recession that have plunged many into poverty.
Guaido must “now look for an idea around which to maintain hope,” Felix Seijas, an academic and director of Delphos pollsters, told AFP.
