CARACAS - Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido said on Thursday intelligence agents had detained his chief of staff following a pre-dawn raid, signaling that President Nicolas Maduro may be cracking down on the opposition’s challenge to his rule.
Guaido invoked the constitution in January to assume the interim presidency after declaring Maduro’s 2018 re-election a fraud, and has been recognized by dozens of Western nations as the country’s legitimate leader. “Look after the president,” Marrero said in a voice message sent to reporters by Guaido’s press team, as he reported that agents were trying to enter his house. The press team also sent a video of another opposition lawmaker showing damage to the door of Marrero’s home and a broken lock.
Guaido traveled around South America in February to drum up diplomatic support for his government, defying a travel ban imposed by the pro-government Supreme Court. He later entered the country via Venezuela’s principal airport without being detained by immigration officials.Since January, Venezuelan authorities have arrested over 1,000 people in connection with anti-government demonstrations, rights groups say.
