Juan Guaido (jguaido): This is not about Trump, Maduro or me—this is about the people of Venezuela | Opinion
Last night, my immunity was removed by Venezuela’s illegitimate Constituent Assembly. But this isn’t about what happens to me. This is about all of us Venezuelans who are fighting hard to restore our democracy. And this is not about a conflict between the President of the United States and a revolutionary leader, as propaganda from Nicolás Maduro’s friends would have you believe.
And to this tragic ledger of lives lost to social collapse and criminality we must add the victims of deliberate political repression perpetrated by organizations like the Special Actions Force that have committed numerous Human Rights violations—including almost 9,000 extrajudicial executions, three times more than the number of disappeared during the military dictatorship of Pinochet.
Meanwhile, the four main democratic political parties in Venezuela are banned. The same goes for its main leaders. Since last January 23, more than 800 Venezuelans have been arrested, including 84 minors, and more than 40 murders have been committed by the repressive bodies loyal to the dictatorship.
In this endeavour, we have had the support of the majority of American and European democracies. Indeed, In August 2017, most of the Latin American countries with which we share historical and cultural ties formed the Lima Group to support the effort to re-democratize Venezuela. We owe great gratitude to them and to all those who have given us support from abroad and welcomed our diaspora and forcefully displaced Venezuelans.
