As Nicolás Maduro’s grip on power has proved durable, the Biden administration has shown a willingness to deal with the authoritarian socialist.
The then-35-year-old head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly was swiftly backed by the Trump administration and governments around the world on the reasoning that he was now the highest-ranking democratically elected official in the country.
At stake is not only the prospect of competitive elections under Maduro’s authoritarian socialist state and U.S. engagement with the country but also the control of key government assets abroad. Under U.S. and other sanctions, the interim government has administered Houston-based Citgo Petroleum Corp. and gold stored at the Bank of England.Lawmakers who support removing Guaidó say they would establish a committee to protect those assets and manage expenses.
The opposition parties Justice First and Democratic Action, who favor ousting Guaidó, responded that they hadn’t been consulted, and the session would proceed as scheduled. Then the assembly account tweeted that the assembly can’t meet without the president. Sergio Vergara, an opposition congressman for Popular Will, the only major party that still supports Guaidó, warned that removing him would amount to recognizing Maduro.“My question to all those promoting this is if the international community would agree with a violation of the constitution,” he told The Post. He said some assembly members might still be persuadable.
