The Maduro dictatorship is preparing the ground to imprison @jguaido, as part of its anti-corruption theater and its internal feuds; They have already announced it and have given the order.
This was denounced by the Venezuelan opposition leader
Leopoldo López
on his Twitter account, this Wednesday, without providing further details.
The Maduro regime did not express itself on the matter either.
The complaint arises in the midst of the electoral heat that begins to emerge from the upcoming
primary elections
on October 22 to choose who will face Chavismo in the 2024 presidential elections.
It also comes amid a
turbulent wave of corruption allegations
against the regime, based at state oil company PDVSA, from which Maduro is seeking to get rid of.
Former enemy of the regime, Guaidó does not have the political weight that he knew how to conquer when he proclaimed himself interim president of Venezuela
with the support of the international community.
Today he has become a minor character within the opposition, he has dedicated himself to maintaining the opposition rhetoric against the regime ahead of the primaries where he will face other well-known characters such as the two-time presidential candidate Henrique Capriles
.
The arrest threats against Guaidó have been coming for several weeks.
Already in April, various opposition groups
rejected the alleged "threats" of arrest against the opponent.
At that time, it was also Leopoldo López, from the opposition party
Voluntad Popular
, who stirred up these denunciations.

On Twitter, López "strongly rejected the threats" and alerted the "international community about the systematic violation of human rights in Venezuela and what
could happen to Juan Guaidó
and his team."
"Guaidó is characterized by his courage, his fight for democracy and for the freedom of Venezuela," said the formation on the social network.
The opponent assured that Maduro
"is about to issue an arrest warrant"
against him, based - he stressed - on "false accusations" for alleged crimes of corruption.
At that time, former legislator López recalled that the reasons for the alleged arrest warrant are based
on the management of assets abroad
and the management of the state petrochemical company Monomeros, based in Barranquilla (Colombia). ).
"Change the focus of attention"
Given this, Popular Will assured that the "regime" wants to
"persecute" Guaidó to "change the focus of attention"
and divert it from the cases of corruption within the PDVSA oil company discovered in recent weeks, which has resulted in the arrest of 44 people, including various officials, and with the resignation of former Oil Minister Tareck El Aissami.

Former congresswoman Dinorah Figuera also "strongly rejected the threats of arrest by the Nicolás Maduro regime" against Guaidó and "other people", which she did not specify.
"Juan is supported by a history of courage, struggle and representativeness. All the support," said Figuera on Twitter, who leads a group of former opposition parliamentarians elected in 2015 who do not recognize the legitimacy of the current Parliament, controlled by Chavismo.
