The president in charge of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó, warned that he hopes that the regime of Nicolás Maduro does not "kidnap" Michelle Bachelet in her eagerness to "hide the tragedy".

The opposition leader Juan Guaidó called on Friday to the Venezuelan people to demonstrate during the visit that the next week will make the high commissioner of Human Rights of the United Nations, Michelle Bachelet, to denounce the difficulties that the po[CENSORED]tion faces as a result of the crisis.

During a tour of the western state of Merida, Guaidó said that the next few weeks will be "decisive" for Venezuela in the face of Bachelet's visit, and asked his followers to take to the streets to prevent the government from "hiding the tragedy."

"Mrs. Michelle Bachelet, welcome to Venezuela to seek urgent solutions and direct attention to the complex humanitarian emergency," said the head of the National Assembly, asking the Chilean president not to allow her to "kidnap" her and "put her in salons, in hospitals parapetados ". The opposition, who has been recognized as interim president of Venezuela by more than fifty countries, considered Bachelet's trip as an "achievement of the protests". Five months after assuming the leadership of the opposition, Guaidó has not been able to weaken the power of President Nicolás Maduro or persuade the powerful military to join him. The announcement of the visit generated conflicting positions in Venezuela among those who praised the decision and others who expressed concern that the government will control Bachelet's routes to prevent it from corroborating the crisis of the health system and the precarious conditions of the prisons, where 155 inmates have died in the last three years during riots, according to records of the Venezuelan Observatory of Prisons.

The activist Carlos Nieto, who heads the local organization Una Ventana a la Libertad and defends the rights of the prisoners, expressed doubts about the repercussions that the trip of the high commissioner could generate, and said that he believes that the government "will seek to occupy the As long as possible, Mrs. Bachelet can only see and talk to those they want. "Nieto said that the three days of the visit is" very little time "to know the real situation in the country. The office of Bachelet, the UN's highest-level human rights official, reported on Friday that she will visit Venezuela from June 19 to 21. She added that she will have meetings with government officials, the president of the Supreme Court of Justice, the head of the National Assembly, and the president of the ruling National Constituent Assembly.

He added that he will also speak "with victims of violations and human rights abuses and with their families," but he did not elaborate. Bachelet sent in early March a technical team that for almost two weeks was in Caracas and two cities in the interior to assess the situation of human rights and the conditions for the visit of the high commissioner. The trip of the mission occurred shortly before the official presented an oral report on Venezuela in which she expressed concern about the "magnitude" and "seriousness" of the repercussion of the crisis on human rights, and maintained that the economic sanctions that received the state oil corporation could aggravate the situation. On that occasion the high commissioner said that the authorities "have refused to recognize the size and severity" of the crisis in health, food and public services, so the measures they have adopted "have not been sufficient" He also referred to the allegations of extrajudicial killings committed by members of the Special Actions Forces (FAES) of the national police, and the cases of violations and human rights abuses that occurred this year in the anti-government protests committed by alleged members of the National Police. security forces and armed pro-government groups known as "collectives".
