The Argentine Republic expresses its recognition to the Federative Republic of Brazil for representing Argentina’s interests in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and appreciates its commitment and responsibility in ensuring the custody of Argentine properties in said country.
Likewise, Argentina denounces to the international community that patrols of the Venezuelan intelligence services and security forces are currently surrounding the official residence in Caracas. At the same time, the Maduro regime has announced that it has unilaterally revoked the authorization granted to Brazil to guard Argentina’s official property.
The Argentine Republic rejects this unilateral measure and reminds the Venezuelan government that it must respect the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which enshrines the inviolability of the premises of diplomatic missions. Any attempt to intrude or kidnap the asylum seekers who remain in our official residence will be harshly condemned by the international community. Actions like these reinforce the conviction that fundamental human rights are not respected in Maduro's Venezuela.
