Venezuela’s Guaido starts domestic tour to stir support 7 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseVenezuela’s self-proclaimed interim leader Juan Guaido began a tour of his country Saturday aimed at sparking a citizen’s movement to pry President Nicolas Maduro from power. As Guaido, 35, kicked off his “operation freedom” in the northern city of Valencia, the pro-Maduro military staged the latest in a series of exercises. Accompanying Guaido on his tour are opposition lawmakers tasked with creating citizen assemblies — “freedom cells” — across the country. The opposition said that, by Saturday, around 50 had already been set up in half of Venezuela’s 23 states.
