Argentina welcomes six Venezuelan opponents in its Embassy in Caracas. President Javier Milei demands that the Venezuelan Government call “elections without proscriptions of any kind” amid an escalation of diplomatic tension.

The Argentine Foreign Ministry has not publicly identified them, but has warned Maduro “about any deliberate action that endangers the safety of Argentine diplomatic personnel and Venezuelan citizens under protection,” in a statement published this Tuesday afternoon. In the middle of this month, Milei announced that he would take “diplomatic actions” against Nicolás Maduro after the Venezuelan government decided to close its airspace to Argentine planes.
