9. This! Guaido is the most legitimate leader they have

Jan 2019

Maduro's recent election was manipulated and the opposition suppressed. There is an excellent argument that Venezuela does not have an elected President as there was not a true free election. Power should go to the head of the Assembly until a new proper election can be held. Which is what he appears to be going for as he has referred to himself as an interim president

Given the obvious parallels I would have expected DU to be enthusiastically supporting Guaido.
