Venezuela: Guaido rejects offers to mediate

Following offers from the president of Mexico and his Uruguay counterpart to negotiate with President Nicolas Maduro, opposition leader Juan Guaido says he is respectfully declining it.

Guaido on Friday made public a letter that he is sending to both leaders.

He urged them to be on the right side of history, saying that remaining neutral in the political struggle aligns them with Maduro.

“We ratify to the governments of Mexico and Uruguay our position in restoring the constitutional order in Venezuela. We have a clear route.”
