Albania recognises Juan Guaidón as Venezuela's president

“Albania recognises Juan Guaidó as Venezuela's Acting President. On behalf of the people of #Albania, I wish to @Jauaido and Venezuelan brave success in eliminating the illegal powers that have turned their country into hell for their people. #Free Vnesule”, writes Rama on Twitter.

Venezuela is in political and financial collapse. Venezuela's leader, Nicolas Maduro, cut off relations with the United States after Washington recognised opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim president. Maduro gave 72 hours to American diplomats to leave his country.

On Wednesday, Guaido declared himself president during mass antigovernmental protests.

The US said “-President Maduro” no longer has authority and called on the military to support Guaido.

Until now, the army has remained loyal to Maduro.

The economy in Venezuela has weakened under President Maduro's rule.

High inflation, power cuts, and lack of basics have caused millions of people to flee this country.

Thousands of citizens have taken part in a rally Wednesday in the capital, Caracas, in support of Guaido, who is the leader of the National Assembly.

He told crowds that the protests will continue “until Venezuela is released”.
