In an analysis, the Venezuelan News Agency (AVN) noted that this change had occurred in recent weeks, especially in the media. The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Bloomberg and the chain CNN, who had been coupled to the line of "president in charge".

AVN reported an interview by British channel BBC Guaidó and published last Thursday, in which correspondent Will Grant refuted the opposition member's alleged investiture in front of the media and right-wing social base since the 23rd. January he proclaimed himself in an act of proselytism.

"Do you have the support of people like Elliot Abrams, Marco Rubio, what does it say about his attempt to become president?" Asks Grant to his conversation with Guaidó.

The deputy simplified his response by appealing to the authority of the constitutional text and the people: "This is not an attempt, I am the" president in charge "of Venezuela because it is what our Constitution says and that my main support comes from the people. "

Faced with this response, the journalist makes a distinction between what the member said and the real situation: "But that does not rely on votes, will you agree that he did not still been elected president? "

Guaidó avoids saying "yes" or "no" to a demonstrable truth exercise that the journalist makes and refers to supposed opinion polls that indicate a "main support" to his person of 90% of "people".

It is verifiable that the constitutional president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, was elected less than a year ago, in May 2017, with 67% of the votes cast (6 million 248 000 864 voters).

Testimony always ignored by the MP in front of the media. In his interviews, he repeatedly insists on having the right to be "acting president" for Maduro's alleged absolute absence.
