Maduro says that “his pulse will not tremble” to stop the opposition Guaidó

The Venezuelan ruler, Nicolas Maduro, said this Sunday that he will not hesitate to stop the opposition leader Juan Guaidó, whom fifty countries recognize as interim president, if the Prosecutor’s Office were to issue the order.

“The day the Prosecutor’s Office and the courts order his arrest, my pulse will not tremble, as head of state, to comply with the orders of the Judiciary,” Maduro said in an interview broadcast on public television VTV.

Guaidó faces at least 4 judicial processes and Maduro usually refers to him as a “fugitive from Justice”, but the Prosecutor’s Office has not reported that he has ordered stop it.

“Let’s wait (the decision of the Prosecutor’s Office), God’s time is perfect, let’s wait God’s time,” added the president in this regard.

The greatest challenge to Maduro

Guaidó, a deputy and leader of one of the two opposition directives that claim to control Parliament, became the greatest challenge to Maduro’s leadership in January 2019, when he proclaimed an interim government that was immediately supported by the United States and several countries of the region.

Then, the opponent pointed out that his three-step program would end when free elections were called, and more recently he proposed the establishment of an “emergency government” without his and Maduro’s participation, another idea that received the support of U.S.

Guaidó’s interim Administration does not control the Armed Forces – whose bosses publicly declare their loyalty to Maduro – nor the apparatus of the bureaucracy, although it does control resources from accounts frozen abroad, with which it has financed aid shipments and since the week that Comes will pay a bonus to health workers.

“Toad Theater”

Guaidó has also said that he will maintain the pulse for the power that his interim office represents until the “cessation of the usurpation” that Maduro assures, since the socialist leader prevailed in controversial elections in May 2018, the results of which do not recognize the opposition and much of the international community.

“(It can last) 10 thousand days, 100 thousand days, a million days, whatever he wants, because (the Guaidó Administration) is like a bufo theater, which is called, with the forgiveness of the playwrights who do bufo theater It is a comic theater, he does not believe, he himself no longer believes his own situations and the world no longer respects him, “said Maduro.

Maduro also said that the polls show that 84% of the population reject Guaidó, whom he considered “the most detested political figure in the last 100 years in Venezuelan politics.”

“He can believe himself president for 10 thousand days if he wants, the important thing is that in Venezuela there is an institutionality and the institutionality will continue, beyond the stupidities of a stupid man,” he said.
