Venezuela gives the head of the European Union mission in Caracas 72 hours to leave the country after the bloc announced sanctions against 11 officials of the Latin American country
Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro speaks during in a meeting with the Bolivarian armed forces at Miraflores Palace in Caracas, Venezuela May 4, 2020.
Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro has given the head of the European Union mission in Caracas, Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa, 72 hours to leave the country after the bloc announced sanctions against 11 Venezuelan officials."We will sort it out in 72 hours... she will be given a plane to leave, but we will arrange our things with the European Union.
Guaido used his position as head of parliament to challenge Maduro's authority in January 2019 by declaring himself acting president after the National Assembly deemed the socialist leader a usurper over his controversial re-election in 2018 in a poll widely branded fraudulent. Guaido is recognised as his country's interim president by more than 50 nations, including the United States and much of the European Union.Parra, though, declared himself National Assembly president in January while security forces loyal to Maduro prevented Guaido from entering the building for a re-election vote he was widely expected to win.
Initially allies, Parra fell out with Guaido after he was linked to a corruption scandal relating to a food distribution program run by Maduro's government.
