Summary
President Klaus Iohannis said Romania decided to join other EU countries in recognizing Guaidó partly because Bucharest currently holds the EU's rotating presidency.Speaking at the Central University of Venezuela Friday, Guaidó called on Venezuelans to hold popular assemblies in their towns this weekend to organize volunteers to receive the aid and called on the military to let the supplies through."If they dare to continue blocking the way, all these volunteers will go open a humanitarian channel," he said.Guaidó declared himself Venezuela's interim president Jan. 23, maintaining that the constitution gives him that right as head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly because Maduro's re-election should be considered legitimate.On Friday, Supreme Court Justice Juan Mendoza challenged that assertion, saying the constitution does not include language for forming a transitional government as Guaidó claims.
