Brazil On Saturday, the Venezuelan government declared itself “surprised” by its decision to revoke the authorization it had to represent Argentina’s interests in Caracas and guard its diplomatic facilities, which it recalled were “inviolable.”
“The Brazilian government stresses the inviolability, under the terms of the Vienna Convention, of the facilities of the Argentine diplomatic mission, which currently houses six Venezuelan asylum seekers, as well as assets and archives,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The Brazilian Foreign Ministry reiterated that it will maintain custody of the embassy, which it confirmed is without electricity and its surroundings are under surveillance by Venezuelan state security officials.
He also insisted that the surveillance of diplomatic space must be taken over by a country in a common agreement between the governments of Argentina, Venezuela and Brazil itself.
In light of these events, the Itamaraty General Secretariat held an emergency meeting on Friday night to discuss the situation together with the Brazilian government and the foreign minister, Mauro Vieira.
