The opposition leader’s return could be a turning point in the effort to oust Nicolás Maduro.
By Mary Beth Sheridan and Mary Beth Sheridan Correspondent covering Mexico and Central America Email Bio Follow Mariana Zuñiga March 4 at 9:51 AM CARACAS, Venezuela — Opposition leader Juan Guaidó urged Venezuelans to take to the streets Monday as he planned to return home after a 10-day absence, trying to reignite a U.S.-backed campaign to push out authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro.
The United States and other countries have warned Maduro against detaining the opposition leader. “Any threats or acts against his safe return will be met with a strong and significant response from the United States and the international community,” John Bolton, the U.S. national security adviser, wrote in a tweet Sunday night.
“If they capture him, we have to be even more united to achieve his liberation,” he said. “But I hope that does not happen.” Any move by Maduro and his government to detain him would be “one of the last mistakes they make,” he added.
