The group of three major Venezuelan ‘opposition’ parties that voted Thursday to dissolve the nation’s legitimate interim government led by Juan Guaidó ratified its decision with a joint statement released via social media on Tuesday.
“Legally, the interim government was designed to lead the country to free elections, having as its goal the thirty continuous days established in article 233 of the Constitution,” the statement reads. “However, four years after the creation of the interim, these elections have not been called or held, which are the raison d’être of the aforementioned constitutional norm.”
Venezuela’s interim government was established in January 2019 in accordance with the nation’s constitution following a rupture of democratic order that created a presidential crisis in Venezuela.

The interim government was originally established with the goal of restoring democracy in Venezuela by bringing an end to Maduro’s illegitimate presidency, establishing a transitional government, and then holding free and fair elections. However, the interim government and the opposition failed to achieve those goals and has not exerted any power in Venezuela after nearly four years, enduring as a symbolic figure of sorts that has no tangible effect in Venezuelans’ day to day affairs.
