Venezuela: Juan Guaidó urges fresh protests and bids for Russia and China backing

[Guardian] The leader of Venezuela’s newly energized opposition, Juan Guaidó, has summoned fresh street protests and reached out to China and Russia as he intensified his campaign to force Nicolás Maduro and his "arrogant" dictatorship from power.

In his first public appearance since declaring himself Venezuela’s interim president on Wednesday, the 35-year-old politician urged citizens to take to the streets and step up their battle against the man he dubbed "El Usurpador" (The Usurper).

A new round of demonstrations would be held next week, with the exact date and locations to be announced on Sunday, Guaidó said on Friday.

"In Miraflores [the presidential palace] they think this movement will deflate, that we will grow tired. But nobody here will tire, nobody will give in. Venezuela has awoken and it will never fall asleep again," Guaidó declared.

"Sí, se puede!" he crowd roared back. "Yes, we can!"
