Havana, July 29 (RHC) -- The Venezuelan government has announced the withdrawal of its diplomatic personnel in seven Latin American countries.

The measure was adopted as a result of what it described as "interventionist actions and statements" by "right-wing governments subordinate to Washington," in connection with the presidential elections held the day before that gave Nicolás Maduro a third term.

"The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in the face of this disastrous precedent that threatens our national sovereignty, has decided to withdraw diplomatic personnel from the missions in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay," reads a statement released by Foreign Minister Yván Gil.

Similarly, it establishes that the nations singled out by Caracas must immediately withdraw "their representatives in Venezuelan territory."

The Bolivarian Government says that these administrations are "openly committed to the most sordid ideological postulates of international fascism" and would seek to re-establish "the failed Lima Group," by "ignoring the election results held this Sunday, July 28, 2024."   ( Source: RT )
