Drama in Venezuela: Maduro blocks self-declared president Guaido

The Supreme Court in Venezuela has ordered ban on the country's departure of opposition leader Juan Guaido, as well as freezing his bank accounts, broadcasting media reporting.

The movement comes amid the escalation of the power crash after Guaido declared himself acting president last week.

It has been supported so far by the US and other countries, including Albania, while Nicholas Maduro on the other side, has significant allies, including Russia.

The opposition, meanwhile, has urged its supporters to participate in a two-hour peaceful protest during the day. Whether Guaido himself will participate in the protest or not is unknown.

A group of countries from North and South America have already opposed an external military involvement in the country.

Peru's foreign minister told the Lima group, which includes 14 American states, including Canada, that a peaceful solution must be found for Venezuela, rejecting a military intervention.

American officials, meanwhile, have said that all options for resolving the crisis are on the table. Venezuela, meanwhile, faces acute economic problems, and an increase in violence has been recorded in recent weeks.

Protests have been held throughout the country since Maduro began his second mandate on January 10th. He was re-elected to elections that were contested last year, where many opposition candidates were prevented from running or being imprisoned.
