Three days after the electrical sabotage that affected a large part of the country, Juan GuaidĂł has increased the aggressiveness of his statements in an attempt to capitalize on the discomfort surrounding his figure, while seeking to take advantage of the social tension accumulated in the last few hours of protests and mass mobilizations.
According to reports from social networks, some acts of looting have taken place in the country, specifically in Maracaibo and MaturĂn, without these have become a generalized reality that covers large areas of the national geography. However, for GuaidĂł, this represents a window of opportunity to reactivate his leadership and public projection.

In that line the deputy, self-proclaimed president of the country in the avenues of the east of Caracas on January 23, promoted looting and vandalism from his Twitter. GuaidĂł sees in the promotion of these events a possibility of achieving the street demonstrations that he has not been able to mobilize with his own leadership.
No se puede hacer apologĂa de la violaciĂłn a la propiedad privada, pero tampoco se puede ignorar la desesperaciĂłn de comunidades que están sin luz ni agua desde hace dĂas y sin poder comprar lo que necesitan con urgencia.

Sin luz, ni agua, ni comida, el desespero puede conducir a nuestro Pueblo a un estado lĂmite por conseguir sustento para los suyos.
Esos reportes de saqueos que llegan de varias ciudades son consecuencia de que el régimen usurpador siga impidiendo la solución a esta crisis.

In his messages, GuaidĂł falls into a contradiction: he claims not to advocate violence or damage to private property, but by promoting looting he makes this apology a reality. It is worth mentioning that most of the rioting attempts have been contained very fast and Venezuelan government officials have said that the majority of the ones captured are paid rioters hired by the Voluntad Popular party.
