    Guaidó’s father claimed “We have ancestry from here, Juan has Canarian and Basque roots”.

    Guaidó is an indigenous Venezuelan surname, probably of Jirajara or Caquetío origin (Found in the state of Lara).

    It would be likely for Guaidó to have African admixture aswell based on his features, but they haven’t confirmed anything.
