Self-Proclaimed Venezuela's interim president Juan Guaido revealed Sunday on his twitter account further steps of the country's opposition, saying that during his recent Latin American tour he managed to gain enough support among neighboring states.
"I appreciate the support given to us by our brothers countries Colombia, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Ecuador during our international tour. Thanks to all the peoples of the region who are with us in this crusade that transcends left and right", Guaido said Sunday on twitter.
Guaido's tour started in late February, when he arrived in neighboring Colombia, in defiance of the travel ban imposed on him by the Venezuelan Supreme Court, in order to help forcefully deliver US-sponsored humanitarian aid to Venezuela, a move that has not been authorized by Caracas.
Guaido vowed to return to Caracas on Monday to lead the street protests across the country that allegedly would start at 11 a.m. local time, saying that in Caracas, the concentration will be on the main avenue of Las Mercedes.
Earlier this week, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who has repeatedly described Guaido as a "US puppet" and accused Washington of trying to stage a coup in Venezuela, said that the opposition leader must be tried if he returns. Guaido may now face up to 30 years in prison for the violation of the travel ban.
