Now many are interested in who is Juan Guaido? This is the chairman of the Venezuelan parliament, who, with the support of American authorities, proclaimed himself the president of this country. It is all the more interesting to learn about the biography, about the political views of Guaido.
Until recently, few in the world knew who Juan Guaido was. Now the name of this self-proclaimed president of Venezuela often appears in political news reviews. Indeed, it is not every day that the chairman of the parliament declares himself the head of state. Oddly enough, in this, Guaido supports a number of countries led by the United States.
Juan Guaido - biography
Since this politician has a Spanish surname, it will be correct to pronounce it as “Guaido”. Juan Gerardo Guaidó was born in 1983. The boy was born in Venezuela, in the city of La Guaira. This city is located on the Caribbean coast.
Guaido has a large family. His father (airline pilot) and mother (teacher) gave birth to 8 children. Both grandfathers of Juan were military. Guaido's worldview was greatly influenced by events that occurred in mid-December 1999.
At that time, a natural disaster occurred on the Caribbean coast due to heavy rains. In mid-December, almost 1000 mm of precipitation fell there. Because of this, waterlogged soil cover began to move to the sea and to residential coastal areas. Landslides and mudflows killed several thousand people, even more people turned into refugees, as their houses were destroyed.
The Guaido family also lost their homes. Later, when Juan Gerardo chose a political career, he repeatedly said that he knew how it feels to be homeless and hungry. Guaido accused the then incumbent President Hugo Chavez and his government. Guaido was confident that the authorities had been ineffective in dealing with the consequences of the disaster.
Education
But the young man was still able to finish high school, he graduated from this institution in 2000. Then Juan entered the Catholic University, after which he became a certified industrial engineer. This happened in 2007. But the education of the future oppositionist did not end there. He left for the USA, where he studied at George Washington University.
Examining these facts of the biography of Guaido, it is becoming increasingly clear why he was dissatisfied with the policies of the government that was in force in Venezuela at that time and why he began to sympathize with the US authorities, as they did to him.
