Part of Venezuela's crisis has to do with its government. President Nicolas Maduro began a second term as president earlier this year, but the political groups that oppose him say the election he won wasn't free and fair. President Maduro has said his presidency1 is truly democratic, but after his second term began, a Venezuelan law maker2 named Juan Guaido, who called his nation's government a dictatorship, declared himself to be the new temporary leader of Venezuela, and other nations began taking sides.
The U.S., Europe and most of the countries around Venezuela have s?poken out against President Marudo and in support of Guaido, while Bolivia, Cuba and Russia have said they're being President Maduro. One thing everyone will be watching for is what happens when self declared leader Guaido returns to Venezuela this week.
He's been traveling through South America working to increase support for a peaceful change in Venezuela's leadership. He's also met with U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence while he was in Colombia. But Guaido's trip abroad had been banned by Venezuela's Supreme3 Court. So the question of whether he'll be arrested when he returns and how people inside and outside Venezuela will react, is hanging with heavy tension in the air.
