CARACAS, Venezuela: Maduro loyalists stripped Venezuela’s Juan Guaidó of immunity Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila), paving the way for the opposition leader’s prosecution and potential arrest for supposedly violating the constitution when he declared himself interim president. But whether the government of President Nicolas Maduro will take action against the 35-year-old lawmaker following the Constituent Assembly’s decision remains unclear. Guaidó has embarked on an international campaign to topple the president’s socialist administration amid deepening social unrest in the country plagued by nearly a month of power outages . He declared himself Venezuela’s interim president in January, and vowed to overthrow Maduro.AP
