In Venezuela, the government of President Nicolás Maduro has stripped opposition leader and self-proclaimed interim president Juan Guaidó of parliamentary immunity as the country’s leadership crisis deepens. The measure would allow for authorities to arrest and try Guaidó. Guaidó has vowed to keep fighting Maduro’s leadership, calling the move “cowardly.” Guaidó previously defied a travel ban imposed by the Maduro government, touring several Latin American countries to garner support for his efforts to oust Maduro and take over the presidency.
