Juan Guaidó, the U.S.-backed Venezuelan opposition figure who led an abortive uprising against the authoritarian socialist government of President Nicolás Maduro in 2019, arrived in Miami on Tuesday seeking “refuge” in the United States
Before his expulsion, Guaidó had planned to seek the opposition’s support for a presidential run against Maduro. He had hoped to attend the Bogotá conference. “I hope this summit can ensure that the Maduro regime returns to the negotiating table in Mexico and agrees to a credible timetable for free and fair elections to solve the current situation,” he said on social media.
“What happened is that his own party took away his candidacy,” Diosdado Cabello, a powerful Venezuelan official who has held several senior posts in the Maduro government, said Monday. “That is going to come out. And faced with this situation, he had to find a way to flee this country. …More than 7 million people have fled Venezuela since 2015 amid a failing economy, spiraling inflation and shortages of water, energy, food, medicine and other basic goods.
