“Stronger and stronger measures. The measures we will take will be precisely to end that dictatorship. That way, you can have a free and democratic election,” said the official in an interview with the Voice of America.
Claver-Carone also denied that the figure of the president in charge of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó, has been questioned. He also reiterated the support of the United States for the opposition deputy.
“The interim president Juan Guaidó remains the interim president due to his presence in the National Assembly. The United States recognizes it, we continue to support him. He is the most popular political figure in Venezuela. What we are looking for is the end of the usurpation of democracy in Venezuela by the Maduro regime,” explained the presidential adviser.
