Juan Guaidó challenges Chavismo after the lifting of his parliamentary immunity and advances in the construction of the country plan

The Speaker of the Parliament of Venezuela, Juan Guaidóhe kept this Wednesday a private agenda to organize a meeting with the social sectors and suspend the public event It had been scheduled in a working-clbad neighborhood of Caracas, after approval of the lawsuit filed against it by the ruling National Constituent Assembly (NCA).

The opposition leader has planned an event in the district of Petare, east of Caracas, but was suspended at the last minute to extend a meeting with social sectors and members of the so-called Plan País, an economic program that aims to start during a possible transitional government.

This was reported by the Guaidó press team, which is recognized as Venezuela's interim president by more than fifty countries.

At the end of the meeting, Guaidó told the online channel TV Venezuela, that the program team – which has been prepared by economic experts and members of Parliament – is focused "in the urgency that Venezuela is experiencing" and in how to reactivate public services after the power cuts in March.

He also referred to the debate led by the Constituent and for which his trial had been approved and stated that such a discussion "ended up being an badembly to discuss the persecution"

On Tuesday, the ANC, a forum not recognized by the opposition and by much of the international community, approved without saying the lifting of Guaidó's immunity after accusing him of terrorist acts and crimes against humanity.

The ANC gave the green light to thecontinuation of a prosecution"against the opponent who, in response, called his supporters to protest.

The approval of this measure responded to the request of the President of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), Maikel Moreno, who asked "compliance with parliamentary immunity"de Guaidó after declaring contempt for failing to comply with a measure barring him from leaving the country last February.

A Guaidó is under investigation for having proclaimed himself acting President of the country on January 23, after ignoring the second term of Nicolás Maduro who, on the 10th of this month, swore for another six years .

The Speaker of the Parliament has been proclaimed President in charge by invoking three articles of the Venezuelan Constitution that, he badures, gives him legal support to badume this position while Maduro "usurps" the presidency for winning a poll that is considered fraudulent.

In addition, the prosecutor's office is also investigating him for the electrical crisis this caused many power cuts in March and completely paralyzed the country more than 10 days.

The Maduro government also blames Guaidó and the United States for power outages, claiming that the opposition and the North American country "cyber-attacked" and with "terrorist acts" the National Electric System (SEN). ).

The most affected region of Venezuela by these blackouts has been the West and Maduro himself said that the states of this region are located "tail"in the transmission lines and they will be the last to restore service.

However, in the last few hours, areas of states in this region, such as Zulia, Falcón, Mérida and Trujillo, have begun intermittently receiving electricity.

Meanwhile, those in central-north near Caracas, such as Miranda, Aragua and Carabobo have suffered power cuts in recent hours.

Maduro launched Sunday the rationing of the electricity service for 30 days witness the "terrorist attacks" against the installations of the system, which will be modernized as announced today by the Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez.

"The intervention, restructuring and modernization of the company Corpoelec was decided, a restructuring that must go hand in hand with its workers, "said the vice president in a speech broadcast by the state channel VTV.

In addition, the authorities have already begun the restoration of water supply "despite the attacks against" the SEN, Maduro said.
