I'm surprised Maduro hasn't ordered Guaidó arrested yet. Even if nothing he did before was strictly illegal, fomenting a coup sure must be. They only seem to be talking about arresting Lopez; will be interesting to see if they let him leave the embassy and go to Spain. IIRC Venezuela has signed some treaty saying people given asylum must be allowed to leave, unlike the UK in the case of Julian Assange.

“Even if nothing he did before was strictly illegal, fomenting a coup sure must be”....fomenting a coup against Maduro, under the circumstances, “illegal” ??? is that what you think ? that Guaidó is the bad guy, Maduro's the good guy , the poor victim of the nasty opposition ?
Nothing can justify what Maduro has done, and everything Guaido has tried, can.
