The Government of Brazil will send its ambassador to Caracas, Gilvania Oliveirato the dictator’s inauguration Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, which will take place next Friday, January 10 in the country’s capital.
Sources from the Brazilian Foreign Ministry have confirmed to the newspaper The Globe and to the news portal UOL that the Government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will be present at Maduro’s inauguration through its ambassador in the Caribbean country. The Brazilian authorities will not send any minister or high representative to Caracas.
The relationship between both countries is not going through its best moment after the July elections in Venezuela, with the authorities of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico asking for the disclosure of the official records, although everything began to get cloudy in March of last year when the Brazilian Government reproached the Venezuelan authorities for preventing the registration of an opposition candidacy for those elections.
Since then, the conflict has only escalated, with Lula refusing to recognize the proclamation of victory by Maduro, whose regime has not spared direct attacks on the Brazilian president. The latest trigger has been Brazil’s veto of Venezuela’s entry into the BRICS at the end of October.
The Brazilian Foreign Minister, Mauro Vieirahas recently assured that, despite the fact that “circumstances impose an inevitable reduction in relations”there is no intention to break diplomatic ties with Venezuela.
For his part, the elected president of Venezuela, Edmundo González Urrutiawill meet on Saturday with Javier Miley Less than a week before the date on which the first magistrate of that country should assume office, they confirmed Infobae official sources.
Milei was one of the first presidents to recognize the Venezuelan leader as the legitimate winner of the July 28 elections, and accused the regime of Nicolás Maduro and Diosdado Cabello of having carried out massive fraud. This international positioning led to the decision of the Venezuelan dictatorship to expel the Argentine diplomatic corps, which had to leave the country in a few hours. From that moment until today, representation is in charge of Brazil.
The relationship between Argentina and Venezuela became complicated again at the beginning of December, due to the arbitrary arrest of the gendarme Nahuel Agustín Gallowho entered that country with the aim of visiting his wife and his young son, and ended up hostage by the regime, which is holding him captive without informing the place of arrest or who is legally assisting him.
In this context, as confirmed Infobae From official sources, President Milei will have a meeting with Edmundo at the Casa Rosada next Saturday. There he is expected to express his support a few days before the date scheduled for the end of the mandate of the current authorities.
Edmundo González Urrutiawho received asylum in Spain, began a strong international offensive in recent weeks to have the support of leaders, presidents and leaders from around the world, to try to twist the decision of Maduro and Cabello to prolong their government beyond January 10 . He was in the European Union and with the Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni.
