The Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, celebrated this Monday the “crushing victory” of his government over the opposition Juan Guaidó, who lost the support of a broad sector of anti-Chavismo that supported him on January 23, 2019, when he proclaimed himself “president in charge”, a role he maintained until, at the end of 2022, the same group withdrew his trust, eliminating the ” interim presidency”, which had also received favor from the United States.
