Who is Juan Guaido?

Nicolás Maduro has been brilliant.

Who is Juan Guaidó, the "president in charge" of


Venezuela whose brilliant ascent led him to become
the biggest challenge for Maduro
¿qué se sabe más de él?

A young politician
Guaidó, a native of La Guaira, studied engineering at the Andrés Bello Catholic University (UCAB)
and a postgraduate degree in public administration.

Being a teenager, he had to experience the greatest natural tragedy that Venezuela has suffered
in the last half century: the landslide of Vargas.

Guadió resided in that coastal state when in December of 1999 the incessant rains caused a wall of
water, rocks and debris to fall down the slope of the hill El Ávila, devastating numerous towns and
causing the death of between 10,000 and 30,000 people.

His family was also affected.

"Guaidó has a combination of many types of Venezuelans: he is someone who is not from a family
with a lot of money, from La Guaira, not from Caracas, who with great effort came to the university
and his parents with a lot of effort could pay him a good university ", explains a fellow student of the
politician, who prefers to remain anonymous.

"He is a transparent type, who believes a lot in institutionality."


Fue en la Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (UCAB)
donde comenzó su carrera política, convirtiéndose en
representante estudiantil y organizando protestas.

"Teníamos un grupo que se llamaba 'defiende tu voto'.


En defiende tu voto, lo que hacíamos era dictar
talleres", cuenta su compañera estudiantil en
conversación con BBC Mundo.

Sus más cercanos lo describen como un joven que


siempre estaba dispuesto a cualquier tarea, por
pequeña que pareciera.

"Una vez nos metimos en una zona muy peligrosa, a


dar una taller, a explicar a cinco vecinos opositores
cómo defender el voto", ejemplifica la universitaria
que compartió con Guaidó esa época.

"Juan necesita una planificación, no le gusta la


improvisación. Parte de este cambio tiene mucho que
ver con eso", considera.
Juan makes himself felt in the
world and adds more allies?
Trump and several Latin
American countries recognize
Juan Guaidó as "president in
charge" of Venezuela
Later, in 2009, Guaidó became
one of the founding members of
the Voluntad Popular party,
along with prominent opposition
leader Leopoldo López.

His vision of Venezuela, then,


was that of a "quality" country;
with a public-private system,
where the public offer is just as
excellent as the private one
and social aid exists but does
not create a dependence on
the State, they comment from
their youth circle.
the political growth Juan guaido had and his
management figures.

From deputy to the most visible face of the opposition


The young engineer entered politics fully in 2011,
when he was elected deputy in the National
Assembly for Popular Will, and subsequently, he was
elected for the first time as a principal member of this
chamber.

He maintained a relatively low profile until he


reached the presidency of Parliament, where he
landed almost by chance.

When the Venezuelan opposition won the absolute


majority of the National Assembly in December 2015,
the main parties that made up the winning coalition,
the Democratic Unity Table (MUD), agreed that each
year they would rotate in the presidency of the
Parliament.
his fight against the mature dictator.
This year it corresponded to Voluntad Popular, the organization in which Guaidó
militates.

At that time, the name of the young deputy did not sound like a strong candidate to
preside over Parliament, but the judicial and political problems faced by the main
party leaders cleared the way for him.

Once López (in house arrest) and Carlos Vecchio (number two of the party, exiled in
the United States) were discarded, the visible head of Voluntad Popular in Venezuela
was the deputy Freddy Guevara, who had to seek asylum in the Chilean embassy in
Caracas after the failure of the wave of anti-government protests of 2017.

Warnings and speech


Guaidó took office as president at a difficult time for that institution, controlled by the
opposition but stripped of its functions after several decisions of the Supreme Court
and the creation promoted by Maduro of a National Constituent Assembly "with
plenipotentiary powers."

From the beginning, the politician used the Venezuelan Constitution to highlight the
"illegitimacy" of Maduro and announced that he would work to achieve a peaceful
"transition" to democracy in the country.
