In a dramatic court hearing in Venezuela, Juan Guaido declared himself “a prisoner of war” as he stood trial alongside several political allies. The hearing took place on Tuesday in Caracas, the capital city, and was presided over by judges loyal to President Nicolas Maduro.
Guaido, recognized by dozens of countries as Venezuela’s legitimate leader, denounced the trial as a farce and a tool for the Maduro regime to suppress dissent. He stated that the charges against him and his colleagues were politically motivated and called for international support in the face of what he described as persecution.
On the other hand, the Maduro government defended the trial, alleging that Guaido and his allies were involved in a conspiracy to overthrow the government illegally. They argued that the legal proceedings were necessary to uphold the rule of law and protect Venezuela’s sovereignty from foreign interference. The government reiterated its commitment to justice and stated that all individuals, regardless of their political affiliations, were subject to the country’s laws.
The hearing ended with the judges adjourning the session without reaching a verdict. Guaido and his associates were escorted back to prison, where they will await the continuation of the trial.
The political crisis in Venezuela continues to deepen, with both sides showing no signs of backing down. The international community closely watches the developments in the country, concerned about the implications of the power struggle on the Venezuelan people and the region as a whole.
