Venezuelan Foreign Ministry issued a statement on September 7th, announcing the revocation of Brazil's representation for Argentina in the Venezuelan embassy.
This decision was made due to evidence suggesting that the embassy was being used by sheltered Venezuelan opposition members to plan assassination attempts on President Maduro and Vice President Rodríguez, as well as other terrorist activities.
Since late March, six Venezuelan opposition members have sought asylum in the Argentine embassy in Venezuela. Venezuelan prosecutors accuse these members of treason and rebellion.
The political tension follows Venezuela’s presidential election on July 28th, where President Maduro was declared the winner. Subsequently, on July 29th, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry announced the recall of their diplomats from Argentina, Chile, and Peru, accusing these countries of attempting to undermine the election results. Consequently, from early August, Brazil took over the interests of Argentina and Peru in Venezuela.
On September 6th, Venezuelan forces surrounded the Argentine embassy in Caracas, where multiple Venezuelan opposition leaders had sought refuge. The Argentine Minister of Security responded by accusing Venezuela of violating international law.
On July 31st, Brazil had accepted Argentina's request to represent its interests in Venezuela during the temporary closure of the Argentine embassy in Caracas. This arrangement was decided through discussions between the foreign ministers of both countries and the Brazilian ambassador to Argentina.
The Brazilian Foreign Ministry expressed shock at Venezuela's decision and emphasized ensuring the safety of everyone within the Argentine embassy. They stated that Brazil would continue to represent Argentina’s interests in Venezuela until an alternative arrangement is agreed upon.
This unfolding diplomatic saga underscores the volatile political climate in Venezuela and the regional tensions it exacerbates.
