Venezuela's action to lift Guaido's immunity condemned by EU
- Country:
- Venezuela Rb
European Union governments condemned on Thursday a measure by Venezuela's Constituent Assembly that allows for the trial of opposition leader Juan Guaido, considered by many Western nations as the de facto head of state.
"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.
