According to the president, on the night of January 22, he received a message stating that the opposition was going to hold talks with him in one of the hotels in Caracas.
In the hotel building there was also a Guaido, wearing a black hoodie, with a cap on his head.
To Maduro's question of why the oppositionist appeared in this form, Guayido replied that he did not want anyone to know about his presence at this event.
“Negotiations were long. Everything he said (Guayido. - RT ) was not true. But the fact that the conversation took place - well. It is necessary to leave the channels for communication open ... I will always be at the mercy of the constitution. Do I have to personally meet a person who is wearing a hoodie and wants to meet at 03:00? If for some reason I need to come to a meeting without clothes, come on a motorcycle, or walk along the street barefoot to meet this person - I will do it, because I am a Democrat, I am a person of my word, ”said Maduro.
At the same time, he added that he wants the Venezuelan opposition to "break out of the trap" into which it was driven.
On January 23rd, Guaido declared himself interim president of Venezuela. In the US, Maduro was called upon to transfer power to him.
