The Argentine Republic rejects the request for arrest issued by the Public Prosecutor's Office under Maduro's dictatorship against the winner of the presidential election held on 28 July, Edmundo González Urrutia. Argentina warns the international community of the radicalization of the regime, which intends to criminalize Venezuelan democratic forces.

In a context of massive human rights violations committed in response to the popular protests triggered by the blatant electoral fraud, Maduro's regime intends to curtail the fight for democracy and freedom by ruthlessly persecuting opposition leaders, whose fundamental human rights are being violated in the midst of State terrorism.

The Argentine Republic will not remain indifferent to the evil actions of Maduro's dictatorship and will continue to support the Venezuelan people in their fight to restore democracy.
