DolarToday Venezuela: How much is the dollar trading at? Today, Monday, January 24, 2022

The dollar in Venezuela was trading higher on Monday, according to DolarToday, amid Juan Guaidó’s call for the urgent unification of the Venezuelan opposition for the presidential election.

At the opening, the dollar stood at 4.83 digital bolivars in the informal market in Venezuela, a level higher by 0.82% compared to 4.79 the previous day, according to data from the portal DolarToday.

The Venezuelan opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, called on Sunday for the unification of the opposition and to resume street activities “as soon as possible” for the presidential election.

Guaidó, who on a day like today in 2019 proclaimed an interim presidency arguing that the re-election of President Nicolás Maduro a year earlier was a fraud, said that the opposition sectors must go through a process of “legitimation of leadership” through some primaries.

“For me it is necessary to call the streets (…) if the dictatorship intended to keep us in the houses”, added Guaidó in an act in a park in eastern Caracas and that has functioned as an informal venue for sessions of opposition deputies since government and military sympathizers prevented them from entering the National Assembly building in January 2020.

“We are talking about organizing ourselves now, we are talking about a presidential election, we have to organize now”, said the opposition leader. The presidential election is scheduled for 2024, although in the past the Maduro government has advanced the date of its completion.
