Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro oversaw a grand military parade to mark the country’s independence day Friday, reveling in his might as commander in chief as the embattled socialist leader comes under mounting criticism for using brutal tactics to crush his opponents.
Guaido, who led a rival march across town Friday, claimed presidential powers in January, at the time drawing throngs of supporters into the streets for demonstrations against Maduro, who has overseen the oil-rich nation's historic collapse. More than 4 million Venezuelans have left the country amid food and medicine shortages and crushing inflation.
Most notably, Maduro's spy chief Gen. Manuel Cristopher Figuera fled after a failed military uprising staged April 30 with Guaido and another popular opposition leader, Leopoldo Lopez. Now in the United States, Cristopher Figuera says his mission is to"seek help to free my country from disgrace." Maduro's government has also undermined the rule of law and dismantled democratic institutions, the U.N. reported.
