The so-called "president in charge" of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó, seeks to increase pressure on President Nicolás Maduro with stops across the country. The Leader of the Opposition called on Venezuelans to quit their jobs and go out on the streets between 12 and 14 local ask the army to ignore the Chavez government.

"Venezuela has risen to dream of the country we want, we must be in the street (…), we need all of us to achieve our democracy," said the 35-year-old protester during the call of the demonstration, a week after "swearing" the position in a mbad opposition march.

An amnesty to seduce the military

Although military leaders described it as "disappointment", Guaidó insisted Wednesday that offer of amnesty to the military collaborate with a transition and so on break Maduro's bra: the armed force.

The House leader, benefiting from growing international support led by the United States, also called for this mobilization in favor of the entrance of humanitarian aid, which the government considers a gateway to US military intervention.

Washington said it's ready $ 20 million to deliver, food and medicine, whose serious shortage has overwhelmed Venezuelans and triggered a wave of mbadive migration. According to the UN, 2.3 million people have left the country since 2015.

Washington, which according to Maduro, uses Guaidó as a "puppet" to give him a coup, has directly called on the military to support a transition and said about a possible armed action at Venezuela that "all options are on the table".

Without a truce, the United States approved Monday sanctions against the state oil company PDVSA – source of 96% of the country's revenue – and freeze of Venezuelan accounts and badets, which he handed to Guaidó.

Maduro banned Guaidó from leaving the country and froze his property

Maduro counter-attacked the judicial level. The Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), on the official line, banned Guaidó from leaving the country and froze his accounts, at the request of Attorney General Chavez Tarek William Saab. The TSJ has ordered the opening of an investigation against the leader of the opposition "usurping" the functions of the agent socialist, which could in principle lead to the loss of his investiture as legislator.

In response, John Bolton, National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump, reiterated that any attempt to "harm" Guaidó would have "serious consequences".

"I do not reject a prison threat (but)" nothing new under the sun ". The only response of the regime is persecution, repression", responded the head of parliament, which Wednesday asked the European Union" more sanctions "against the Maduro government.

Although its decisions are considered null and void by the TSJ, which declared it contempt of Parliament, the Congress on Tuesday appointed "diplomatic representatives" in a dozen countries that recognized Mr. Guaidó as interim president.

Guaidó's offensive will continue with a "great walk" on Saturday, just when they are met 20 years of "Bolivarian revolution" founded by the late Socialist leader Hugo Chávez (1999-2013), so that the government should call its supporters.
