• Crisis in Venezuela. Maduro instructs Delcy Rodriguez to denounce Trump for sanctions against Conviasa

Juan Guaidó called for the mobilization to recover the street before his return to Caracas, scheduled for tonight. Opposition deputies agreed to the Maiquetía airport, half an hour from the capital, to protect the legitimate president of Parliament, who has starred in a successful international tour.

Guaidó has traveled between Europe and America for 24 days to ratify international support since a year ago he began his challenge against the regime of Nicolás Maduro. With the exception of Pedro Sánchez , who avoided him in Madrid so as not to enrage his vice president Pablo Iglesias, Guaidó received the support of world leaders such as Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel, Boris Johnson and Justin Trudeau.

Chavismo changed strategy in relation to last year, when Guaidó returned to Caracas acclaimed by his followers. On this occasion, the revolution imitated the Cuban regime and deployed its own repudiation groups at the airport terminal, as they are called on the island.

Employees of the sanctioned Conviasa, government workers and members of nearby radical groups were transferred to the airport. And they started strong: they threatened the deputies and beat a journalist with the connivance of the military present, for whom it was simply the "inflamed people."

"They gave me a blow to the leg, with the knee. One carries and receives. But the important thing is that we are here and we do not give up," testified opposition deputy Williams Dávila from the airport. The parliamentarians, persecuted and harassed with viciousness since they obtained the triumph in the legislatures of 2015, returned to star in scenes of bravery, jumping military controls and without yielding to the insults and threats of the radicals. Thirty-five deputies have been exiled from Venezuela since 2018.

"It will be the responsibility of the dictatorship and must face the consequences of national and international character , " denounced the Office of the Presidency in Charge after the attacks.

Government vehicles had free access to the facilities of Maiquetía, but not other buses with parliamentarians, journalists and even diplomats, who suffered the blockade imposed by the authorities on the road that leads from Caracas to La Guaira.

On Monday night, Guaidó posted a video on his Twitter announcing his early return to the country and ensuring that his international allies are willing to increase the pressure against the Maduro regime "to the highest level."

"I return with the commitment of our allies, with actions and measures that will be carried out, and with the call to our people to reactivate the struggle and popular mobilization," said the opposition leader in a video in which only He sees a gray background with a flag of Venezuela.

Guaidó said that the solution to the oil country crisis will only come when "really much pressure" really free presidential elections are achieved. "We propose to the heads of State and Government a series of concrete actions and measures to achieve the freedom of Venezuela and end the suffering of the people ... It is time to return to Venezuela, so see you soon , see you on the streets, "added the parliamentary chief.

Sources close to Guaidó said the United States pledged to sanction senior officials of the Maduro regime of the energy and food sector.

Chavismo tried to mitigate the effect of Guaidó's tour with his principal ally's visit to Caracas. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov returned to Venezuela to promise more military aid to Venezuela and to offer his accompaniment in the parliamentary elections scheduled for the end of the year.

Vladimir Putin's minister agreed in Caracas with the former head of the Spanish Government José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, a strong advocate of the Chavez theses in Europe. Zapatero presided over the false dialogue table imposed by the 'son of Chávez', despite the fact that Parliament in 2018 censored his presence in the negotiations for his obvious bias in favor of the Bolivarian revolution.
