Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro, whose 2018 reelection was rejected by a vast swathe of the international community as fraudulent, said Saturday that he does not care about the global response to a vote scheduled for next year. | AFP
After the 2018 election that was boycotted by the opposition, its leader Juan Guaido was recognized by more than 50 countries as Venezuela’s de facto leader.
The opposition voted to disband the interim government in January and replaced Guaido as the head of a parallel congress made up of opposition lawmakers.“We never cared that they said: ‘No, the president of Venezuela is Guaido’. He was not president for an hour, not a second,” said Maduro. The opposition is seeking certain assurances, including that Guaido and other opposition leaders barred from holding public office will be allowed to run.The opposition plans to hold a primary in October to choose a single candidate to take on Maduro.
