"CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó was violently blocked Sunday from presiding over a special session of congress where rivals tried to install a substitute in what was condemned as a hijacking of the country’s last democratic institution.

GuaidĂł led a small group of lawmakers trying to access the neo-classical palace where the opposition-controlled National Assembly was set to elect its leader for the final year of its 2015-2020 period when they were pushed back by national guardsmen wielding heavy riot shields. As scuffles broke out, the U.S.-backed leader tried to mount an iron fence surrounding the legislature, only to be repelled again."
