The parliamentarian warned that the arrest warrant against the interim president continues in force. He called on the international community to be attentive to what might happen in the country.
"The GNB at the airport did not execute the order to arrest Juan Guaidó. The officials were transferred to Fuerte Tiuna. The capture order is valid. Alert Venezuela, alerts world leaders, "Pirela said on Twitter.
Guaidó entered the country through the Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía, Vargas state, after returning from a tour of several Latin American countries to define the next actions, with respect to the situation in Venezuela.

Always some low level flunky who gets blamed and punished.
Apparently the Governor of Vargas couldn't be sobered up enough to personally attend to the arrest of Guaido that God-Given had promised!

Your evaluation is correct, of course. Obviously, an event as important as arresting Guaido wouldn't have been left to the whims of a bunch of GNB that normally handle airport duties. They're simply blaming low level flunkies because they themselves had issued the order NOT to arrest him and now look weak.
Tick tock.

"It is a lie that they say that there was complicity and that we let them in. There was no order, and we also prove that there is democracy in this country," Carneiro said at a press conference.
Guaidó returned to Venezuela through Simón Bolívar International Airport on Monday and participated in a rally at the Alfredo Sadel Plaza in Las Mercedes.
"They have not arrested me because they are drowned in a sea of contradictions," Guaidó said during a press conference held at the meeting with workers and union leaders at the College of Engineers on Tuesday.
It should be remembered that the first vice president of the Psuv, Diosdado Cabello, declared in days before the return of the opposition leader that he would send a commission to receive Juan Guaidó in Maiquetía headed by the governor of Vargas.

(285 posts)......send those GNB members to jail at Fuerte Tiuna? Not that a court order would have been required to accomplish the arrest.
As Guaido said, "they are drowned in a sea of contradictions".
Tick tock.

Move up the election? Check
Considered a snap election, the original electoral date was scheduled for December 2018 but was subsequently pulled ahead to 22 April before being pushed back to 20 May.[5][6][7] Some analysts described the poll as a show election,[8][9] with the elections having the lowest voter turnout in the country's democratic era.
Because of this, the European Union,[12][13] the Organization of American States, the Lima Group[14] and countries including Australia and the United States rejected the electoral process.[15][16] However, countries including China, South Africa, Cuba, Iran, Egypt, Russia, Syria, Turkey and others recognized the election result.
Vote buying? check
Reports of vote buying were also prevalent during the presidential campaigning. Venezuelans suffering from hunger were pressured to vote for Maduro, with the government bribing potential supporters with food.[122] Maduro promised rewards for citizens who scanned their Carnet de la Patria at the voting booth, which would allow the government to monitor the political party of their citizens and whether or not they had voted.
Carnet de la Patria, a digital ID based on China's Social Credit System. The card allows the government to monitor citizen behavior such as voting history.
International condemnation? check
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein noted that his office had concerns that reports of extrajudicial killings cast doubts on fairness, stating "this context does not in any way fulfill minimal conditions for free and credible elections"
Prior to the elections, the Lima Group, with its participating nations of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Saint Lucia, stated that they would not recognize the results of the presidential elections due to the perceived lack of transparency.
On 8 February, the European Parliament, with 480 votes in favor, 51 against, and 70 abstentions, adopted a resolution demanding sanctions against President Nicolás Maduro, Vice President Tareck el Aissami, and other officials, considering them "responsible for the aggravation of the crisis.[161][162] The European Union, through the European Parliament, also ruled that it would not recognize the 20 May elections and called the electoral process "fraudulent".[12] On 3 May 2018, the European Parliament again called for the immediate suspension of the 20 May election until "free and fair elections were held on a schedule agreed upon with the participation of all relevant actors and political parties.
The governments of Argentina,[163] Canada,[164] Chile,[165] Colombia,[153] Costa Rica,[166] France,[167] Jamaica,[168] Panama,[169] Paraguay,[170] Spain,[171] the United States[162] and Uruguay[172] directly criticized the electoral process in various ways, condemning the disqualification and imprisonment of MUD individuals, the lack of advanced notice for the election date and the bias of electoral bodies, describing such actions by the Venezuelan government antidemocratic.[173][174] Remaining member governments representing countries from the Lima Group, including Brazil, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, and Saint Lucia, denounced the elections in a joint statement through declarations made by the organization.[153]
Meanwhile, the governments of Antigua and Barbuda,[175] Bolivia,[176] Cuba,[177][178] Nicaragua,[179] North Korea[180] and Russia[181][182] reacted to the call for elections positively, showing support for the process and demanded that there be no intervention.
