Agence France-Presse

Venezuela’s opposition leader called for mass protests across the country on Monday as he announced his return to the country after a week touring Latin American allies.
“I’m announcing my return to the country. I am calling on the Venezuelan people to mobilise all over the country tomorrow at 11am,” Juan Guaido said on Twitter.

#Venezuela
Tal y como dije ayer, anuncio mi regreso al país.
Convoco al pueblo venezolano a concentrarse, en todo el país, mañana a las 11:00 am.
Atentos a las redes oficiales, estaremos informando puntos de concentración #VamosBien porque vamos todos. ¡Vamos Venezuela!
— Juan Guaidó (@jguaido) March 3, 2019

Guaido, who has been recognised by more than 50 countries as interim president, gave no details of when or how he would return.
He asked supporters to pay close attention for messages of where the demonstrations would take place on Monday. “Let’s go Venezuela,” he said.
Defying a travel ban by President Nicolas Maduro, Guaido slipped across the border to Colombia last week to try to bring in the aid and to meet with visiting US Vice President Mike Pence.
The 35-year-old political newcomer continued on to Brazil, where he met the new right-wing president, Jair Bolsonaro, and on Friday travelled to Paraguay and Argentina. He has spent the weekend in Ecuador.


Guaido stunned the world on January 23, proclaiming himself Venezuela’s acting president after the National Assembly he leads declared Maduro a usurper and illegitimate over his May re-election which was widely criticised as fraudulent.
Guaido wants to oust Maduro and set up a transitional government ahead of new elections.
Maduro – who retains the support of Venezuela’s powerful military – enjoys strong support from Russia, which accuses Washington of interventionism, and China, which is concerned over the fate of billions of dollars in loans to Maduro’s regime.
The socialist president warned last week that Guaido should “respect the law” and would have to “face justice” if he returns to the country.
Guaido said last week he intended to return to Venezuela “despite threats” to arrest him. The US and other allies have expressed concern for his safety.
