Venezuelan parliament speaker Juan Guadillo, who has declared himself a temporary "president", said in an interview with an American network that he did not rule out an amnesty for President Nicolas Maduro to leave office.
Asked about the possibility of an amnesty including Maduro, Guido said in an interview with the Spanish-language network conducted by Skype from an undisclosed location in Caracas: "During periods of transition, things like this have happened. We can not rule out anything, Be firm in the future and above all address the urgent humanitarian situation ».
"We have to look at it, he is an employee, but unfortunately he is a dictator and responsible for the victims of yesterday in Venezuela," he said.
"This amnesty and these guarantees are for all people who are willing to stand by the constitution and restore constitutional order," Guaido said.
For his part, Brazilian Vice President Hamilton Morao, whose country has recognized Guido as president, has proposed the creation of a "evacuation corridor" to remove Maduro from Venezuela.
In the meantime, the United States issued an order to leave its "non-essential" staff from its diplomatic missions in Venezuela, and demanded that US citizens living in or traveling to Venezuela leave.
In Paris, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Laudrine strongly called on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to "refrain from any form of repression against the opposition."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman said yesterday that Berlin is ready to recognize Juan Guido as president of Venezuela if free elections are not held "soon." In Moscow, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that during the telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro, the latter did not ask for help in connection with the political crisis in his country.
