Venezuela's Guaido pledges more protests over power, water shortages

CARACAS - Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido on Monday called on supporters to continue taking to the streets to protest power and water shortages, as the government of President Nicolas Maduro appeared prepared to begin a rationing program.

That followed demonstrations around Caracas on Sunday night when police fired gunshots after residents set up burning barricades, according to Reuters witnesses. The oil-rich South American country has been hit by two waves of crippling blackouts since March 7. Guaido invoked the country’s constitution to assume an interim presidency in January, arguing Maduro’s 2018 re-election was illegitimate. He has been recognized by most Western and South American countries as the OPEC nation’s rightful leader.

It added that the Constituent Assembly, an all-powerful legislature controlled by the Socialist Party, should discuss the issue of whether or not to strip Guaido of parliamentary immunity - a move that could pave the way for him being jailed. Maduro on Sunday said the country would begin a program of “load administration,” which Venezuelans on social media interpreted as a program of power rationing, without providing details on when it would start.

Guaido out.

Solidarity, Survival and Sabotage: Read the definitive account of how Washington orchestrated the blackouts tormenting Venezuela

Why is this crackhead even speaking at all? He read a declaration naming himself president off of a brown paper bag with 12 people watching and we're supposed to take him seriously? Tfo of here. HandsOffVenezuela

It means guaido is happy to c Venezuelans suffering,because of US.why opposition love to be helped by outsiders,to be in govt,if they have guts just fight by thier own.why americans dollars and CIA help.I hope Venezuelans be united against american aggression.

Guaido isn't 'Venezuela's. He belongs to the Evil Empire, aka, the USA.

maybe venezuelans should spend more time working together to solve their problems instead of protesting and fighting each other

I’d like to see all the activists in the US head over there to help out this man who is doing the right thing for his people -
