The NYT is awful on Venezuela. I only posted the article to show that 
there is some nervousness in elite circles about the prospects of 
"regime change".

From the NY Times article:
". . . the oil-rich and formerly prosperous country upended by political
repression and severe economic
hardship under Mr. Maduro."

So the economic hardship came with Maduro then. Did the NY Times ever refer
to Venezuela as prosperous under Chavez?

Still, it seems that Mr. Guaidó MUST have some backing in the military, police 
or other coercive apparatus.  Because in most places, somebody who has just 
done what Guaido did would either be arrested, in hiding or would have fled the 
country.  SR
