(CNN)Venezuela’s self-declared interim president Juan Guaido returned to the country on Monday, risking arrest for violating a travel ban in his bid to oust the embattled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Guaido was met by crowds of chanting supporters and several European diplomats after he touched down at Caracas airport on Monday, where he declared, “We are here in Venezuela. We are stronger than ever.”

“We are going to achieve the end of the usurpation very soon in Venezuela,” he said. Guaido added that despite the risks, “they won’t be stopped.”
