A leading Venezuelan opposition party said a group of armed men with their faces covered raided its headquarters late Friday, taking cellphones, computers and ID cards from staffers and raising tensions the night before a nationwide protest against President Nicolás Maduro.
Popular Will members said Juan Guaidó, who belongs to the party, was not inside at the time.
Guaidó arrived at the 18th-floor office in Caracas minutes later and called for an end to Maduro's “dictatorship,” saying the men who broke into the office were “cowards” for covering their faces and not identifying themselves.
