Opposition leader Guaido returned to Venezuela after a 23-day foreign trip, despite the Maduro government's ban on leaving the country.
"We are here in Caracas. I carry the commitment of the free world, ready to help us regain freedom and democracy. A new moment has begun, we need to act and will not accept to receive defeat. More than ever, we need political solidarity, trust and discipline. Wait for new announcements, "opposition leader Juan Guaido posted on Twitter.
Upon arriving at Caracas International Airport, Guaido was warmly welcomed by the supporters group. However, a quick clash occurred between the two sides supporting the opposition leader and President Nicolas Maduro.
On January 19, opposition leader Venezuela continued to break the ban on travel when it announced to visit Colombia, some European countries, Canada and the United States. Guaido was welcomed by President Donald Trump as head of state upon his arrival at the White House and listening to his Federal Message.
In a message that the Federal Reserve read before Congress on February 4, Trump declared, "The US is leading a 59-nation diplomatic alliance against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro."
In January 2019, Guaido proclaimed himself interim leader of Venezuela, directly challenging the administration of President Maduro. However, while Maduro is still supported by the military and many other countries. Guaido lost credibility within the opposition itself when his ally Parra won parliamentary chair at the election earlier this month.
