OTTAWA — Venezuela’s pro-democracy movement has welcomed the decision by Canada and its allies to urge its country’s military to switch allegiance and support opposition leader Juan Guaido as the true leader of their country.
The declaration in the final Lima Group communique from Monday’s emergency meeting in Ottawa came two days after the defection of a top air-force general, once loyal to socialist president Nicolas Maduro.
The Lima Group’s meeting comes amid massive protests in Venezuela pressing Maduro to go.
