Pope calls for 'just and peaceful' solution to crisis in Venezuela
Pope Francis on Sunday refused to say whether he supports opposition leader Juan Guaidó as Venezuela's legitimate president, instead calling for a "just and peaceful solution" to the country's ongoing crisis.
The Associated Press reported that Francis addressed the situation in Venezuela during a stop in Panama for World Youth Day. The pope “asked the Lord to seek and find a just and peaceful solution to overcome the crisis that respects human rights and exclusively seeks the good of all people.”
While Francis has remained non-committal in the Venezuelan power struggle, many Venezuelan bishops have backed Guaidó.
The AP reported that leaders from across South and Central America attended Francis' remarks in Panama City.

Without violence.
Instead of a US-led regime change, the two sides need to share power temporarily, until new elections, perhaps in 2021. It seems inconceivable, yet history shows this can be done. Poland's successful transition to democracy in 1989 provides a pertinent example.
