It was the latest flashpoint in a global showdown over Venezuela, with Western nations largely recognizing Guaido as legitimate head of state, but Russia and China still supporting the socialist Maduro and urging non-interference. “I hope that Europe reacts sharply to this serious threat against an ambassador,” Guaido added. “Above all, they should tighten financial sanctions against the regime.”
He denounces Maduro as a usurper whose re-election last year resulted from a sham vote. Maduro says he is victim of a U.S.-led coup attempt and “economic war”.
