The Argentine government acknowledged on Tuesday that it is “moving forward” to ensure that the six Venezuelan opposition members who are in its embassy in Caracas “do not have any problems at all,” following the government’s decision to revoke Brazil’s authorization to guard the diplomatic headquarters.
“Venezuela is an issue that we are taking with great caution and when we actually have something defined and we actually have some progress in these matters, we will let you know,” said presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni, at his usual press conference at the Casa Rosada.
“Brazil is in line with this issue, which cannot escape international conventions, good practices, the law and respect, not only for Argentina, but also for the fact that no country in the world can attack or try to take away the value of an embassy in a foreign country,” the spokesman added.
It is important to remember that the Democratic Unitary Platform and the political party Vente Venezuela, led by María Corina Machado, held the Venezuelan government responsible for the “irregular situation” that occurred on Friday night at the official residence of the Argentine Embassy in Caracas, under Brazilian protection, where six opponents have been staying since March.
Previously, the International Coordinator of Vente Venezuela, Pedro Urruchurtu, one of the opponents at the Embassy, indicated that agents of state security agencies “were at the site.”
In addition to Urruchurtu and González, Magalli Meda, who was the campaign manager for the presidential elections, remains at the Argentine diplomatic headquarters; Claudia Macero, VV’s Communications Coordinator; Humberto Villalobos, electoral coordinator of the VV Campaign Command, and former minister Fernando Martínez Mottola, advisor to the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD).
