Nicolás Maduro: From Bus Driver to President of Venezuela
Section 5: The Role of the Opposition
The Venezuelan opposition has been a significant force in challenging Maduro’s rule. Leaders like Juan Guaidó, who declared himself interim president in January 2019, have garnered international support in their efforts to oust Maduro. Guaidó’s claim to legitimacy was based on the assertion that Maduro’s 2018 election was fraudulent.
The opposition has faced significant challenges, including government repression and internal divisions. Protests against Maduro’s government have been met with violent crackdowns, resulting in numerous deaths and arrests. Despite these obstacles, the opposition continues to advocate for democratic reforms and human rights.
