Mike Pence remarks to Guaidó that the US will support him "until he restores total freedom in Venezuela."

The Vice President of the United States, Mike Pence, had a conversation this Wednesday with the self-proclaimed “president in charge” of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó, to convey that Washington will support him “until freedom is restored.” “I have spoken with the brave president interim of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó, “said Pence in a message on the social network Twitter. «The people of Venezuela are suffering under dictatorship and oppression. Nicolás Maduro must go, “he stressed. Spoke with courageous Interim President @Jguaido of Venezuela by phone today. Told him America will continue to stand with Venezuela until freedom is restored! The people of Venezuela are suffering under dictatorship and oppression. Nicolas Maduro must go. #VenezuelaLibre – Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) May 29, 2019 The message has been published after the Government of Venezuela and Guaidó have shown willingness to continue advancing in the exploratory contacts in Oslo to agree on a “constitutional solution” that includes “Political, economic and electoral issues”, as reported on Wednesday by Norway at the end of the second round. The Venezuelan and Norwegian press had already revealed that the parties have met again between Monday and Wednesday in Oslo to give continuity to the contacts started in mid-May to explore a possible dialogue. Guaidó has been emphatic in clarifying that it is not a new dialogue, but a “mediation.” Maduro already offered a dialogue after the presidential elections of May 20, 2018, but it was rejected by the Venezuelan opposition. Since Hugo Chávez died in 2013, the government and the opposition have tried up to three dialogues that have failed.The last one took place between September 2017 and February 2018 in the Dominican Republic and was the one that was closest to the agreement, but derailed because the parties disagreed on when to hold the presidential elections that year. by the opposition or by a large part of the international community and began a second term on January 10. Days later, on the 23rd of that month, Guaidó proclaimed himself the “president in charge” of Venezuela to prevent the ‘Chavista’ leader from completing another six-year term in Miraflores. Since then, the tension has increased. On April 30, for example, there was an attempted military coup that allowed the liberation of prominent opposition leader Leopoldo López. The United States does not rule out an armed intervention, something that Guaidó has begun to consider in recent weeks, but the countries of the region are still resisting.
