Interim chief wants rallies in Venezuela

PROVISIONAL Venezuelan president Juan Guaido has told his supporters to rally against the current regime.

He called on followers to mobilise for nationwide protests yesterday as he attempted to gain recognition from other countries.

He stepped in as leader last month when he announced the national elections were rigged in favour of the current regime of president Nicolas Maduro.

Although the US and some European countries recognised his interim move, others are opposed to his unlawful ousting of the original president.
