Venezuela should form an emergency government made up of the opposition and some members of the ruling Socialist Party to receive foreign aid needed to confront the coronavirus outbreak, opposition leader Juan Guaido said in an interview on Sunday.

“It’s crucial that we attend to the country’s health emergency, to increase the number of hospital beds and ventilators, to provide for hospitals,” Guaido said in a video interview, referencing the lack of running water in many public medical facilities.The emergency government would not include Maduro or other top allies, he said, a group of whom were indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday on accusations of narco-terrorism.
Guaido in 2019 called on the country’s military to rise up against Maduro to end the country’s economic crisis and create a transition government, but the military’s top brass stuck with Maduro despite the country’s economic crisis.
