Chaos and an abduction in Caracas as Canada recognizes Venezuelan opposition

^{Published on 2025-01-10 05:41:04 - MSN}

Canada today recognized Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia as the legitimate winner of the July 2024 Venezuelan presidential election, one day before Nicolas Maduro is due to be sworn in. Mass protests in the country saw the opposition leader emerge from hiding,

The article from MSN discusses the political turmoil in Venezuela, focusing on the recent recognition by Canada of the Venezuelan opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, as the legitimate interim president. This recognition came amidst chaos in Caracas, where opposition supporters clashed with security forces. The situation escalated when a prominent opposition figure, Juan Requesens, was reportedly abducted by armed men believed to be from the Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN). This incident occurred shortly after Guaidó declared himself interim president, challenging the authority of President Nicolás Maduro. The article highlights the international response, with Canada joining the U.S. and several Latin American countries in supporting Guaidó, aiming to pressure Maduro's regime amid Venezuela's severe economic and humanitarian crisis. The abduction of Requesens has been condemned by opposition leaders as an act of intimidation by Maduro's government, further fueling the political instability in the country.
