The lawmakers also authorized the Venezuelan High Court to criminally prosecute Guaido for declaring himself the president of the South American country. The opposition leader dismissed the decision, saying he recognizes neither the court nor the Constituent Assembly. Our correspondent Jesus Silva has more details in the following story.
