The chancellor Omar Paganini assured that the call for consultations of the Uruguayan ambassador to Venezuela, Eber Da Rosa, It is “a sign of disagreement” after the disqualification by the Justice of the historical leader of anti-Chavismo, María Corina Machado.
Paganini questioned the democratic situation in the country you drive Nicolas Maduro and maintained that the requested meeting with Da Rosa is to “understand the situation well and inform us of the details”, after the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) of that country to disqualify for 15 years Machado.
When speaking on the subject at a press conference, the leader noted that “the concern of the entire government is that there was a process that aimed at a democratic transition with the commitment of some elections “They could be free and competitive and suddenly the main opposition leader is disqualified.”
In this way, he considered that “the entire process and the hopes that the agreement will be fulfilled are called into question.” Barbados “It seems that they are collapsing”, which is why he defended diplomatic action to receive an “in-depth” report to decide possible actions.
How is the relationship between Uruguay and Venezuela going now?
Faced with this situation, it is worth asking: how can the diplomatic relationship continue in Uruguay? It is that, as he was able to know Ambit, The government wants the ambassador to return to Montevideo “as soon as possible” and then define whether to move forward with another type of decision.
Furthermore, this is not the first clash between both countries, since the president Luis Lacalle Pou spoke on several occasions and even mentioned that the mode of government in that country “is a dictatorship”, despite which he decided to appoint Da Rosa as ambassador in May of last year.
After this new tension in the diplomatic relationship, there may or may not be an escalation. The thing is that the figure of the call for consultation is not a simple call and could be the step prior to deciding that Da Rosa leaves the country and there is no ambassador in Venezuela.
Another possible option, if an adverse scenario occurs, would be to declare “persona non grata” to the Venezuelan ambassador to Uruguay, Yldefonso Finol Ocando. In the worst case, the last resort would be to break relations between both countries.
