The Brazilian government officially spoke out for the first on Wednesday (7) about the departure of the Asylums Venezuelans from the Argentine embassy in Caracas, protected by Brazil, confirming that he did not achieve that Venezuela granted salvo-conduct to opponents, who were the target of arrest warrant in their country and have been refugees at the Argentine embassy since March.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also confirmed that it only learned of the removal of opponents on Tuesday, the day it was announced by the government of Donald Trump. The revelation was made by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who stated that the five members of the team of opposing leader María Corina Machado were “rescued” and were already on American soil.
There are no details about how the asylums came out of the embassy and Venezuela, but both Rubio and Machado speak in performing a “operation” of withdrawal. The Venezuelan opposition also stated that the procedure generated “surprise” in the regime of Nicolás Maduro.
Itamaraty, in turn, stressed in a statement that it had been negotiating with the Maduro regime so that the basic needs of the asylums were met. During the months at the Embassy, Venezuelan authorities prevented the free entry of water, food and even medicine on site.
“Brazil has worked through the diplomatic channels to solve the situation in the residence,” says the Brazilian government statement.
Itamaraty also stated that it had been managing the solo-conduct request to opponents-never attended-since April last year, even before taking representation of Argentina’s interests in Venezuela after Maduro expelled Javier Milei’s diplomatic corps from the country.
“The repeated managers were not met, which extended the difficult humanitarian situation at the residence of the Argentine embassy in Caracas, which was surrounded by security forces. The announcement of the exit puts an end to this episode and the drama experienced by the asylums for more than 400 days,” the statement concludes.
Argentine government spokesman Manuel Adorni said in turn that there was an “extraction operation” of the embassies and that “there was no negotiation”. Nicolás Maduro’s regime has not yet spoken out about the departure of opponents.
