The United States Government orders the eviction of the Venezuelan embassy in Washington

On Monday, the United States Government ordered the eviction of the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, which has been occupied for weeks by supporters of Nicolás Maduro.

According to Euronews, some of them chose to leave before the police intervention took place, but four of them remain inside the building.

"Secret Service and police agents have given them arrest warrants. Some left the building, but others are still there. Those who stayed are committing a crime and are going to be expelled," Juan Guaidó's representative warned the Organization. of American States (OAS), Gustavo Tarre.

While some Maduro supporters remained inside the diplomatic building, dozens of Guaidó supporters gathered nearby.

"The reason we are here is to get them out of our embassy because it is an invasion," said a young opponent.

At the end of April, a group of Maduro followers occupied the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington to prevent it from being controlled by Guaidó's envoys, who had already taken possession of the Venezuelan consulate in New York.

The aforementioned media detailed that last Friday, May 10, the US authorities cut off the electricity and water supply to the embassy.

Days before the Venezuelan Carlos Vecchio, Guaidó's representative in the United States, formally asked US authorities to take back the embassy.

Before leaving the building, the Chavista diplomatic staff handed over the keys to supporters of Nicolás Maduro, who did not allow the team appointed by Juan Guaidó, recognized by the United States as interim president of the oil country, to enter.
