juan guaido: The comments come amid worsening tensions in the country after the US and UK have backed Juan Guaido, who appointed himself interim president of Venezuela as hundreds of thousands marched to support him, according to The Independent. European leaders are calling for free and fair elections. Former special rapporteur Alfred de Zayas, who finished his term at the UN in March, has criticized the US for engaging in economic warfare against Venezuela which he said is hurting the economy and killing Venezuelans. Russia and Turkey remain Nicolas Maduro's key supporters. He said that since its presentation the report has been ignored by the UN and has not sparked the public debate he believes it deserves.
