Opposition protesters look down a battle-scarred street at police and national guardsmen in Caracas May 1, 2019.
In Caracas, meanwhile, Maduro’s government began to fire back. A week after opposition leader Juan Guaidó’s failed attempt to incite a military uprising — senior loyalists were said to be poised to move against Maduro — the pro-government Supreme Court charged six opposition lawmakers with treason, conspiracy and rebellion, and they were stripped of their parliamentary immunity from prosecution.
Marta Lucía Ramirez, Colombia's vice president, speaks May 7 in the District at the Washington Conference on the Americas. Nevertheless, the still-reeling opposition was seeking to regain momentum using the new strategy of carrot — the offer to senior Maduro loyalists — and stick. Francisco Sucre, head of the assembly’s foreign affairs committee, said Tuesday that rejoining the pact “would give us an additional and important tool to increase pressure.”
Now the opposition and foreign governments are considering whether to make those guarantees open and “official.” The opposition has offered a pledge of amnesty to military personnel who turn against Maduro, but many now think that amnesty alone will not be enough to secure his ouster.Juan Guaidó, president of Venezuela's National Assembly, speaks May 4 in Caracas.
