BRASILIA - Brazil’s right-wing government threw its support behind Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido’s push to oust President Nicolas Maduro on Tuesday, and called on other nations to do the same.
His security adviser, retired general Augusto Heleno, said he was shocked by an image of an armored car of Venezuela’s National Guard apparently running over protesters. However, by the evening Maduro was still in charge, and there was little sign of the military leadership abandoning him. Barros read out a statement expressing support for the “Venezuelan people fighting for democracy” and called on other nations to support Guaido’s effort to end the “Maduro dictatorship.”
