Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido called on Europe on Thursday to intensify financial sanctions against the regime of Nicolas Maduro, a day after Caracas expelled the German ambassador for “interference”.
European countries “should strengthen financial sanctions against the regime. The international community must prevent Venezuelan money from being misused to kill opponents of the regime and indigenous peoples,” Guaido said in an interview with the German news weekly Der Spiegel.
“Venezuela lives under a dictatorship, and this way of proceeding is a threat to Germany,” Guaido said. The foreign ministry gave German envoy Daniel Kriener 48 hours to leave for “interference” in Venezuela’s internal affairs.
