CARACAS: Venezuela's Juan Guaido said on Tuesday he feared being abducted by government agents in the coming days after a Supreme Court request to lift his parliamentary immunity heaped pressure on the opposition leader in his power struggle with President Nicolas Maduro.
The Constituent Assembly, a legislative body created by Maduro to sideline the opposition-controlled National Assembly, was expected to vote on the Court's request later Tuesday. The move came after Venezuela's auditor general's office announced Thursday that it had stripped Guaido of the right to hold public office for 15 years, a decision he rejected as invalid.
Maduro - whose government has blamed"terrorists" for alleged attacks that have damaged the country's main hydroelectric power plant - announced that he was appointing Igor Gavidia Leon to replace retired general Luis Motta Dominguez as energy minister.
1.- There is no Supreme court IN Venezuela. It's a bunch of thugs lead by an ex-convict 2.- It's a dictatorship. They dont need a reason to arrest you/kidnap you / kill you. They just need oportunity. Guaidó is protected by Int. Community.
