Juan Guaido to ask legislature to declare 'state of alarm' in Venezuela

Caracas: National Assembly leader Juan Guaido said on Sunday he will ask the Venezuelan legislature to declare a "state of alarm" in order to request international aid amid a massive power outage.

Guaido, who declared himself acting president in January, told reporters he has convened an emergency session of the National Assembly "to take immediate actions with respect to the necessary humanitarian aid."
