Guaidó is calling on popular opposition figure Leopoldo López to serve as the general coordinator, though he lives in the Spanish ambassador's home in Caracas for protection.

Opposition lawmaker Julio Borges will oversee Guaido's foreign relations. Borges lives in is exile in Colombia.

Other members of Guaido's team deal with economic development, asset recovery and human rights.
