CARACAS—A call from Venezuela’s interim President Juan Guaido to take to the streets on Wednesday, May 1, in a bid to force Nicolas Maduro from power ended with little concrete sign of change in a crisis that increasingly looks like a political stalemate.

Guaido had called for the “largest march” in Venezuela’s history and said on Twitter that “millions of Venezuelans” were in the streets in “this final phase” of his move to oust Maduro.
