Juan Guaidó

Juan Guaidó is a Venezuelan politician who gained international recognition in 2019 when he declared himself interim president, challenging Nicolás Maduro's government. As a leader of the opposition and head of Venezuela's National Assembly, Guaidó sought to restore democracy amid economic crisis and political unrest. His claim was supported by some countries, but Maduro remained in power locally. Guaidó's role symbolized resistance to Maduro's leadership, but he faced significant challenges, including limited international influence and internal divisions within Venezuela. His actions highlighted Venezuela's ongoing struggle for democratic reform and political stability.
