VENEZUELA urged Spain to withdraw recognition of Juan Guaido and admit that it had acted rashly.
Juan Guaido, president of Venezuela’s National Assembly was recognised as the country’s president by the US, Canada and most of Western Europe, including Spain earlier this year.
Speaking from Venezuela’s embassy in Madrid, ambassador Mario Isea condemned the absence of any “official indication” of modification by Pedro Sanchez’s government.
“The decision was based on incorrect information,” maintained Isea, who lamented that countries like Spain could issue an ultimatum ordering “a democratic government” to hold elections.
The ambassador then suggested future changes in diplomatic relations arising from the composition of Spain’s new parliament.
