Venezuela now has two presidents battling for control after opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself interim president on Wednesday. Thousands of people marched in the country this week to demand the end of socialist President Nicolas Maduro’s government. National Assembly leader Guaido then swore himself in as acting president, promising to create a transitional government that will end the South American nation’s economic collapse.

Trump said the National Assembly was ‘the only legitimate branch of government duly elected by the Venezuelan people’. Venezuela descends further into chaos as opposition leader swears himself in Maduro responded by severing all ties with the US and ordered its diplomats to leave within 72 hours. The US State Department said the order would be ignored. Canada, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia have also come out in support for Guaido, while Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne said her government is considering recognising him as president. Thousands of people took to the streets to demonstrate against President Nicolas Maduro on Wednesday (Picture: EPA) Maduro started his second term on January 10 (Picture: Getty Images) She told reporters in Sydney on Thursday that Australia was concerned about the ‘clearly deteriorating political, economic and security and humanitarian situation in Venezuela’ and it’s impact on the Latin American region. In Turkey, presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said that president Recep Tayyip Erdogan is backing Maduro, with whom the nation has cultivated close economic and political ties.

Stay strong, we are by your side’ and said Turkey would ‘maintain its principled stance against coup attempts’. Russian officials reacted angrily to Guaido’s claim to presidency, calling the opposition protests a ‘pre-planned action’ that was ‘coordinated by the United States’. Alexei Pushkov, chairman of the information committee at the Federation Council, warned that the showdown between Maduro and Guaido ‘could lead to a civil conflict, even civil war’. Russia and Turkey are both supporting Maduro (Picture: AP) Venezuela has spiralled into its worst-ever economic crisis under Maduro’s ruling (Picture: AFP/Getty Images) It’s believed that eight people have died so far in clashes with police (Picture: EPA) Around three million Venezuelans have fled abroad over the past five years (Picture: Getty Images) Maduro assumed presidency in 2013, after his predecessor and mentor Hugo Chávez died. Under their ruling, Venezuela has spiralled into its worst-ever economic crisis, marked by corruption, hyperinflation and debt. Around three million Venezuelans have fled abroad over the past five years to escape widespread shortages of food and medicine. What does it mean when the Doomsday Clock moves closer to midnight? But on January 10, Maduro started a second term despite a widely-boycotted election in 2018, with many foreign governments describing the proceedings as a sham. According to local officials and rights groups, so far eight people have died in clashes with police as they lobby for Maduro’s reign to end. But an official change in presidency will depend on a shift in allegiance within the armed forces. Venezuela’s constitution says if the presidency is determined to be vacant, new elections should be called in 30 days. Got a story for Metro.co.uk?
