Diplomatic Tensions Flair Between Venezuela and Brazil

Venezuela recalls its ambassador from Brazil amid escalating tensions following Brazil's calls for transparency in Venezuela's disputed presidential election. Accusations fly against Brazil's foreign policy advisor, Celso Amorim, for alleged bias. The situation exacerbates with Brazil's veto of Venezuela's entry into the BRICS group.

The Venezuelan government has intensified diplomatic tensions with Brazil by recalling its ambassador, accusing Brazil of making 'repeated interventionist and rude statements.'

The controversy centers around Celso Amorim, Brazil's top foreign policy advisor, who is criticized for perceived bias in Venezuelan political matters. Parliamentary votes on declaring Amorim a 'persona non grata' are being proposed.

This escalation follows disputes over Venezuela's presidential election results and Brazil's opposition to Venezuela joining the BRICS group, complicating relations further.
