"The very act of protest is dangerous in Venezuela." — Juan Guaido

To achieve a successful transition, we don't just have to remove Maduro. We also have to rescue our institutions themselves. That's why we have set out three phases: ending Maduro's usurpation of power, implementing a transition government, and holding free elections.

No one is willing to sacrifice themselves for Maduro or take up arms to fight for him.

In Venezuela, we have movement for freedom, for democracy, that has taken years and sacrifice to build, and a majority through protests to win elections to align ourselves with the world that recognizes the fight for democracy in Venezuela.

I would like to be clear about the situation in Venezuela: Mr. Maduro's re-election on May 20, 2018, was illegitimate, as has since been acknowledged by a large part of the international community.

We will fight back until we have democracy.

We know that Maduro's armies are riddled with persecution, torture, threats, and wrongful arrests.

Maduro has placed himself above the Constitution, but only the Venezuelan people can be above it.

All those who talk about democracy, freedom, and the rule of law, of human rights, of the fight against corruption are, I believe, important allies.
