EU condemns Venezuelan efforts to prosecute Guaido -statement

Published Updated

"The EU rejects the decision taken by the non-recognised National Constituent Assembly to lift Juan Guaido's parliamentary immunity. This decision constitutes a serious violation of the Venezuelan constitution, as well as of the rule of law and separation of power," the EU said in a statement.

"These acts undermine a political way out of the crisis and only lead to further polarisation and escalation of tensions in the country," the statement said.
