Venezuela has reacted to Morocco’s support for Juan Guaido. Speaking to an Algerian newspaper, Caracas’ ambassador to Algiers said that the Kingdom «is not entitled to comment on democracy in Venezuela and Latin America, because it knows perfectly the position of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro on the Western Sahara issue».
The diplomat told the same source that «Morocco is trying to take advantage of the situation in Venezuela. It is seeking the support of any party».
On the same day, Venezuelan politician who has been partially recognized as Interim President of Venezuela Juan Guaido thanked Arab countries, especially Morocco, for supporting opposition forces in the country, speaking to Emirati TV channel Al Ghad.
The Kingdom is, so far, the only state in the region to back Guaido’s actions since he declared himself interim president of Venezuela in January 2019.
On January the 29th, Guaido spoke to Moroccan Foreign Affairs Minister Nasser Bourita, stressing that he wants to normalize ties with the Kingdom.
On the other hand, Manuel Avendano, Foreign Affairs Advisor of the Venezuelan National Assembly, promised that his country would «reconsider its recognition of SADR under the government Juan Guaido».
