CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela’s government said Saturday that Brazil can no longer represent Argentina’s diplomatic interests in the country, putting at risk several anti-government opponents who have holed up for months in the Argentine ambassador’s residence seeking asylum.
In retaliation, Maduro broke off diplomatic relations with Argentine President Javier Milei’s right-wing government, which tapped neighbor Brazil to represent its interests and safeguard the asylum seekers. Argentina's president has been among those leading the charge against Maduro over alleged attempts to steal July's presidential election. Electoral authorities pronounced Maduro the winner despite strong evidence collected at the ballot boxes by the opposition that it prevailed by a more than 2-to-1 margin.
“Actions like these reinforce the conviction that in Maduro’s Venezuela the fundamental rights of human beings are not respected,” the foreign ministry said.
