Venezuela parliament president
and self-proclaimed president of the South American country Juan
Guaidò on Friday thanked Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini for his
support against President Nicolas Maduro.
"We appreciate the recognition of the will of all the
Venezuelan people, which will continue to peacefully speak in
the streets," said Guaidò.
Salvini came out Thursday against the Maduro regime.
Opposition leader Guaidò has indicated he would grant amnesty
to embattled President Maduro if he cedes power.
Guaido, who has declared himself interim president of the
South American country amid mass demonstrations against Maduro,
said "all those who are willing to side with the constitution"
could be offered reprieves.
Speaking from an undisclosed location, the 35-year-old
National Assembly leader told the American Spanish-language TV
channel Univison that an amnesty could also be offered to the
president and his closest allies.
