Maduro v Guaidó: Wer unterstützt wen in Venezuela?

January 28, 2019 - Die Vereinigten Staaten und eine Reihe anderer Staaten anerkennen
Juan Guaidó als Präsident von Venezuela, während der bedrängte Präsident Nicolás Maduro diesen Schritt als orchestrierten Coup der USA sieht.

The tumult erupted when Guaidó, the 35-year-old leader of Venezuela's opposition-controlled congress, declared before masses of supporters last week that he has temporarily assumed presidential powers, vowing to hold free elections and end Maduro's dictatorship.

President Donald Trump and several foreign leaders quickly recognized Guaido as Venezuela's legitimate leader, prompting Maduro to cut ties with the U.S. and order its diplomats from Caracas within 72 hours.

Russia, China, Mexico, Turkey and Cuba back Maduro, who also retains the backing of the military.

But major European countries including Spain, France, Germany, Britain, Portugal and Netherlands say they will recognize Guaidó as
interim president unless Maduro calls fresh elections by February 3.
