"These are the first stones before we start seeing bigger rocks rolling," said a White House advisor.

This FridayGuaidó does not rule out authorizing the intervention of a foreign force for Maduro to stop "usurping" power and "saving lives" in the face of a "humanitarian emergency" ".

However, he stressed that he would do anything that would generate the "lowest social cost" to achieve "free elections" that would take Venezuela out of the worst crisis in its contemporary history.

In dialogue with the agency, he explained that "We will do all that is necessary, all that we have to do to save lives, so that children do not die (…) or kidney patients." We will do anything that has a lower social cost, generate governability and stability to attend the emergency. "

"What Maduro does is try to have an outside enemy, to make common cause with a part of the world left, but it's not a problem of left or right, it's a question of humanity, and we will do everything we can to do sovereignly and autonomously to end the usurpation, the transitional government and free elections, "he added.
