Venezuelan congress leader briefly detained amid standoff

As tensions in Venezuela are on the rise. The tension brought upon the leaders trying to invoke change has become even more severe. Juan Guaido was on his way to an anti-government town hall meeting and on his way there was stopped and detained by the police. Video evidence take by nearby drivers show the arrest happening however Guaido's face was not clearly identified. The main form of controversy however is that Communication's Minister, Jorge Rodriguez, said that he believes the arrest was orchestrated to create a political uproar. The main cause of the tension is that Guaido has been running the regime to take down the socialist government that is controlling Venezuela right now. Going against President Maduro, Guaido is gaining international allies and will most likely be successful in his attempt and taking down the corrupt Venezuelan government.
