Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro intensified pressure on opposition leader Juan Guaido, detaining his chief of staff under the cover of darkness Thursday morning and testing the commitment of foreign governments to protecting him.
Guaido said that the intelligence police known as Sebin had raided the homes of aide Roberto Marrero and congressman Sergio Vergara, who is a member of Guaido’s Popular Will party. Appearing at an event in Caracas to hand out medical supplies, Guaido said the move underscores the regime’s weakness.
