The Venezuelan opposition is expected to choose a new president of the National Assembly on Thursday that will replace Juan Guaidó as the leader of the anti-Chavista movement, starting a new chapter in the fight against the Caracas socialist regime following the dissolution of the so-called interim government.
Representatives of the main Venezuelan opposition parties held behind-the-scene talks to pre-select new directors of the 2015 National Assembly, which is recognized by the United States as the only democratic institution left in Venezuela.
It is unclear if Guaidó’s party, Voluntad Popular, was actively participating in the talks, but representatives of the other opposition parties told el Nuevo Herald that they expected it to end up supporting the authorities agreed upon by the other parties: Primero Justicia (PJ), Acción Democrática (AD) and Un Nuevo Tiempo (UNT).
