The former president of the National Assembly of Venezuela, the opposition Juan Guiado now exiled in Miami, let glimpse in an interview, that the plans destabilizing and coup-plotters of the ultra-right led by Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, It is deflated and has no popular, much less diplomatic or international support.

Guaido, who is a current fugitive from the Venezuelan justice, said about Urrutia’s plans to “return to Venezuela to take the oath of office as president of the Republic on January 10” that he would “return to Venezuela when he can. Be careful with this, when he can do it,” he emphasized.
In addition, Guaido said that it is highly unlikely that Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia will gain significant support for “10 days from the President of the United States taking position, to 10 days from the new President taking position, that is, a transition team taking position, a new Senate having to ratify the positions, etc.”
Urrutia only will come back Venezuela “when it’s safe, when we have the diplomatic recognitions, when we’ve talked to the military, when we also have enough strength” according to Guaido, statements that determine that the plan of reactionary opposition continues to be insurrectional, in clear attack against democratic institutions in Venezuela.
The set of facts since last week’s Thursday are all relevant and build a very clear picture of the current internal state of the strategy of parallel government that could be brewing in the ranks of the most radical and violent opposition in Venezuela.
Last week, Spain granted political asylum to Gonzalez Urrutia. And Spanish FM Jose Manuel Albares said that he would not reveal the “precise” details of the private conversation they had and referred to what he has already said on this subject on several occasions about the intention of Edmundo González to come to Venezuela on January 10 to swear as president.
To top off failed opposition strategies, the Public Ministry of Venezuela confirmed this Friday that Fernando Martínez Mottola, who was detained at the Argentine Embassy in Caracas until Thursday, declared at the institution for “violent, conspiratorial and destabilizing acts” planned at the diplomatic headquarters, which he voluntarily abandoned.
The Prosecutor’s Office added that the opponent voluntarily appeared at its main headquarters in Caracas on Thursday to give statements about the serious violent, conspiratorial and destabilizing events organized from the residence of the Embassy of Argentina, following the presidential elections of 28 July.
