Caracas | Venezuelan politics descended into disarray on Sunday (Monday AEDT) when security forces barred opposition leader Juan Guaidó and his backers from entering the National Assembly, allowing loyalists to President Nicolas Maduro to choose an assembly president instead of Guaidó.
His suit torn from scaling a fence, Guaidó and his supporters went elsewhere and re-elected him anyway, drawing backing from Washington and Latin American and European powers that consider Maduro illegitimate and condemned his actions.
