Supporters of Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro attend a rally backing his government on Saturday. A "negotiated settlement to remove President Maduro from power" was the most popular option for a way out of the crisis, receiving 63 per cent support. At their meeting on Monday, members of the Lima Group ruled out support for military intervention to end Venezuela's humanitarian crisis. So far, Venezuela's powerful military has backed Maduro, he said, despite efforts by the opposition to win them over. If Venezuela's military were to split, with some joining with Guaido and others defending Maduro, the long-term results could be devastating, he said.
