Guaido in a sentence

Under Bolsonaro, Brazil was one of fifty countries that recognised Maduro's main opponent, Juan Guaido, as interim president of the country.

But at the last minute, members of the National Guard prevented Mr Guaido and other supporters from entering the Assembly’s white-walled building.

But Mr Maduro’s government has accused Mr Guaido of being the figurehead of a US-backed coup d’etat, in particular pointing to a failed military uprising by his supporters in the army in April 2019.

By Tuesday morning, Venezuela's public prosecutor had cited Guaido to appear before his office on Thursday regarding an investigation of an alleged plot to assassinate Maduro.

For his part, self-proclaimed “Interim President” Juan Guaido had initially “Operation Gedeon” as a “false flag” perpetrated by the Maduro government on Sunday.

Guaido and his allies accuse Maduro of rigging his 2018 re-election.

Guaido received the support of Canada, along with dozens of nations who recognize him as Venezuela's leader and called for Maduro's ouster.

Guaido vowed to "enforce" the constitution in his dual role as parliament speaker and acting president.

Guaido was elected president of the National Assembly at the beginning of last year because his opposition Voluntad Popular party had the rotating chairmanship of the parliament.

In the so-called "people's consultation," U.S.-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido urged Venezuelans at home and around the world to register their ire through cellphone apps.

It was not immediately clear how countries that recognize Guaido would respond if the opposition lost its majority, given that his claim to leadership is based on being the leader of parliament.

Maduro has minimized the importance of the consultation and described Guaido as a US "puppet".

Maduro holds actual presidential power but Guaido's claim to the presidency is recognized by more than 50 countries, including the United States and many European nations.

Maduro, who took over after the 2013 death of former President Hugo Chavez, says Guaido is a puppet of the United States.

More recently on January 19, Guaido again crossed over into Colombia in defiance of a travel ban, taking part in a US-led counter-terrorism summit alongside Duque and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Bogota.
