Venezuelan lawmakers loyal to President Nicolas Maduro stripped opposition leader Juan Guaido’s immunity Tuesday — and authorized the high court to criminally prosecute him for proclaiming himself the crisis-hit country’s ruler.
Guaido — whose claim is recognized by over 50 countries — had earlier expressed fears of being abducted by government agents following a request by the Supreme Court to the Constituent Assembly to lift his parliamentary immunity.
“The people are determined and nothing is going to stop us,” said a defiant Guaido in response. “There is no turning back in this process.”
