Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido will be barred from public office...

CARACAS - Venezuela’s opposition leader Juan Guaido will be barred from public office for 15 years, the government comptroller said on Thursday, as it seeks to crack down on the U.S.-backed rival to President Nicolas Maduro.

Maduro dismisses Guaido’s claim to the presidency as a Washington-backed effort to seize power in Venezuela, which is struggling under hyperinflation and crippling blackouts that have left millions of citizens without power this month. Guaido at a rally called Amoroso’s announcement void, saying he lacks legitimacy. “The only body that can appoint a comptroller is the legitimate parliament,” he said.

Similar comptroller rulings helped cripple the political career of Leopoldo Lopez, who began leading street protests after he was barred from holding office on accusations of making improper use of public funds. Cities across Venezuela recovered electricity on Thursday after the blackout, the second major one in less than a month.

But local electricity experts, as well as government critics allied with Guaido, said the outages were due to years of underinvestment and lack of maintenance as Venezuela’s economy spiraled into a hyperinflationary collapse.
