Venezuela: Juan Guaidó opens the door to give the green light to a US military intervention to overthrow Maduro

Juan Guaidó has given an interview to ‘The Washington Post’ in which he has been asked what he would do if the White House National Security adviser, John Bolton, offered him an intervention in Venezuela. Guaidó has responded that he would say the following: “Dear friend, John Bolton, thank you for all the help you have given to this cause. Thank you for the option, we will evaluate it and probably consider it in Parliament to resolve this crisis. And if necessary, perhaps we will approve it. ”In this sense, Guaidó has spoken about a possible military intervention by the United States in Venezuela, in the framework of the latest escalation of tension in the Caribbean nation. “We are evaluating all the options. It is good to know that important allies like the United States are also evaluating these options. That gives us the reassurance that if we need cooperation, we know that we will be able to find it. “He acknowledges” mistakes “The president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Juan Guaidó, has also acknowledged the mistakes made this week by expecting more soldiers to support the so-called Operation Libertad, with which he hopes to achieve the “definitive cessation” of the “usurpation” of the Nicolás Maduro regime. In an interview with The Washington Post newspaper, Guaidó has admitted that he hoped that when a wave of desertions occurred within the Army , Maduro resigned. However, Guaidó’s call for the military to “join the process of change” did not lead to massive defections. “Maybe we need more soldiers or maybe we need more senior officials in the regime willing to support the Constitution.” has pointed out in this interview.Not to negotiate with Maduro “Sitting with Maduro is not an option,” he said after being asked whether there was the option of a negotiating table between both parties. “That happened in 2014, in 2016, in 2017 … The end of the usurpation is a precondition for any possible dialogue,” he added. He also considers that Maduro has not ordered his arrest because he “is afraid.” The Venezuelan crisis worsened on January 10, when Maduro began a second term that neither the opposition nor a large part of the international community recognize because they consider that the presidential elections last May 20 were a fraud. On the 23rd of that same month, the acting president of the National Assembly, Juan Guaidó, proclaimed himself the “president in charge.” Guaidó announced on April 30, together with a liberated Leopoldo López, the start of ‘Operation Freedom’ overthrow Maduro, ensuring that they had the support of “an important group” of the military. The Venezuelan president, for his part, describes the events as a “coup skirmish” and assures that he has been defeated.
