“Europe has failed”. Venezuelan press highlights order to expel EU ambassador – News

“The main member of the regime assured that he does not fear sanctions”, highlights the same newspaper that, quoting the head of state, states that “Europe has failed” in supporting opponent Juan Guaidó “and instead of rectifying it, it incurs its aggressions against Venezuelan institutions ”.

The 2001 newspaper notes that “EU sanctions heat up spirits with Miraflores (presidential palace) and that the ambassador was expelled“ after being punished against several officials ”in Caracas.

Ciudad Caracas points out that “Nicolás Maduro demands that the EU ambassador leave the country” and that the President exclaimed that “European colonialism against Venezuela is no longer enough”.

He also mentions that the sanctions “are part of a pressure strategy to hinder the celebration of parliamentary elections planned for this year”.

The Tal & Qual newspaper highlights that the EU “will take reciprocity measures in the face of the expulsion of the Venezuelan ambassador”.

The portal Aporrea (American People’s Revolutionary Assembly, the main consultation portal for the political left in the country) also refers to what happened and states that “by interference President Maduro gave the EU ambassador 72 hours to leave the country” .

On the other hand, the Digital News portal highlights that “Colombia, Paraguay and Bolivia condemn the expulsion”.

“Distinct governments in the region, who recognize Juan Guaidó (the opposition leader) as interim President, condemned the expulsion of the ambassador in response to sanctions emanating from Europe,” he explains.

According to Caraota digital, the expulsion “leaves Nicolás Maduro’s administration more isolated” and could lead to reciprocal measures by EU member countries, which “could expel diplomats from the regime and withdraw their representatives in Venezuela”.

“Maduro took the hasty decision after the announcement of sanctions against Luís Parra (deputy) and 10 other employees”, he stresses.

According to Report 21, Caracas is willing to give up a plane to take the ambassador.
