Venezuela's former opposition leader, Juan Guaido, has launched a scathing attack on the country's acting president Delcy Rodriguez, labeling her a 'dictator' and cartel leader. The US-backed politician, who declared himself interim president in 2019 after Nicolas Maduro was sworn in for a second term, claimed that Rodriguez is 'destroying Venezuela'.
Guaido made these comments during an interview with Al Jazeera, where he expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in Venezuela under Rodriguez's leadership. He accused her of being authoritarian and using the country's institutions to maintain power.
Guaido, who was widely backed by opposition groups in Venezuela before Maduro took office, has been critical of the Venezuelan government for months now. However, this is the first time he has made such personal attacks on Rodriguez.
Rodriguez has long been a thorn in the side of Guaido, who sees her as a major obstacle to his own ambitions. The two have had a long-standing rivalry, with each trying to outmaneuver the other for control of the country's politics.
Guaido's comments are likely to further destabilize Venezuela's already fragile political situation. His attacks on Rodriguez could embolden some opposition groups, who may see this as an opportunity to challenge her authority. However, it also risks alienating potential allies and undermining his own legitimacy as a leader.
The controversy surrounding Guaido and Rodriguez is just the latest in a long-running saga of power struggles and infighting within Venezuela's politics. The country has been mired in crisis for years, with hyperinflation, poverty, and human rights abuses plaguing its citizens.
As tensions between Guaido and Rodriguez continue to escalate, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Venezuela's already fraught political landscape.

Like, come on Guaido can't even give Delcy a break 
. He's just trying to stir up drama and get attention. Newsflash, dude: you've been talking trash about her for years and NOTHING'S CHANGED 
You're still stuck in opposition land, and she's still the one running the show 
Rodriguez may not be perfect, but at least she's not as corrupt as Guaido's US-backed regime 
. And what's with the "dictator" label? That's just rich coming from someone who was backed by the same powers that are supposed to be holding Maduro accountable 
. Anyways, I'm low-key worried about this escalating further and destabilizing Venezuela even more 
I'm not sure if Guaido is trying to be a hero or if he's just being reckless. He's been talking trash about Delcy Rodriguez for months now, and this latest interview with Al Jazeera seems like just another example of him trying to stir up drama. Meanwhile, the people of Venezuela are still struggling to get by under her leadership... I'm not saying she's doing a great job or anything, but can't Guaido just focus on finding common ground for once? 
, especially among Venezuelans who are tired of all the drama between you and Rodriguez. And btw, a "dictator" is a pretty broad term - it's easy to throw around when you're trying to stir up trouble 
Guaido's constant beef with Rodriguez is only making things worse in Venezuela 
.
It's time to put aside our differences and work together to make Venezuela a better place for all its citizens 
. We need to practice some good ol' fashioned self-care and mindfulness 
, and not let the stress of politics consume us 
.
. Until then, I'm going to focus on spreading love and positivity wherever I go 
!
. he just needs to focus on helping his own people instead of trying to take down others who are already struggling. i mean, has he seen how bad things are for venezuelans lately? it's like he thinks he can just waltz in and fix everything overnight 
. the guy needs to get real about what's really going on there
