“Fortunately, everyone left the country on Saturday and, until this cabinet respects the letter of the United Nations, the independence and sovereignty of Venezuela and does not rectify and publicly apologize, it will not return to the country. Let’s hope they fix it“, insisted the Chavista leader this Monday.

The decision to expel these officials came one day after the UN special rapporteur on the right to food Michael Fakhriassured that the Venezuelan government prevented him from visiting detention centers and that authorities constantly changed his schedule during his two-week visit to the country, which ended on Wednesday.
