In a plot twist worthy of a telenovela 🎭, Venezuela has just asked seven Latin American countries to pack up their diplomatic bags and head home. On Monday, Venezuela's Foreign Ministry released a statement calling on Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Uruguay to withdraw their diplomats from the country.
But that's not all! Venezuela is also recalling its own diplomats from these nations. What's behind this dramatic move? Caracas is accusing these countries of meddling in its internal affairs, especially after President Nicolás Maduro clinched a new six-year term in Sunday's presidential elections.
In the fiery statement, Venezuela slammed the seven nations for being \"subordinated to Washington and committed to… ideological postulates of international fascism.\" 🔥 Ouch!
Meanwhile, Venezuela's National Electoral Council officially declared Maduro the winner on Monday, securing his position at the helm. 🇻🇪
As the diplomatic drama unfolds, it's clear that regional tensions are heating up. Stay tuned for the next episode! 📺
