By the
A.M. Costa Rica staff
President Carlos Alvarado
announced on Thursday that the
government has requested that
the representatives of the
government of Nicolas Maduro
leave the country.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
said that three members of the
Venezuelan embassy who represent
Maduro can no longer be
recognized as official
representatives of the
Venezuelan government and
therefore have no reason to stay
in this country.
They include councilor Nabil
Mora, the second secretary
Angelica María Ramírez and the
cultural aggregate Nelly Gliset
de la Mata Ovares.
President Alvarado said the
decision was made after he
received Mrs. María Faría who is
the representative of the
interim president of Venezuela,
Juan Guaidó.
"We received the ambassador sent
by interim president Guaidó. She
is the person who is recognized
by the Costa Rican government,
that means no other
representative has an official
recognition from Costa Rica,”
said President Alvarado.
In addition, President Alvarado
confirmed that the deadline for
the Maduro representatives to
leave the country will be
announced by the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
"From the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, a period has been set
aside in which the delegations
were invited to close their
affairs and leave the country,
following the standards that
other countries have made, as
Paraguay, Ecuador and others
did, that means we are following
that standard that has been
handled by others countries. The
delegation that is recognized is
the one that we received
recently at the Presidential
House," said President Alvarado
With regard to a possible
military intervention by the
United States in Venezuela,
President Alvarado confirmed
that Costa Rica does not support
any type of military
intervention as a solution to
the crisis in that country.
"Costa Rica will not support any
kind of military intervention of
any kind. Costa Rica, it is very
important to say it
categorically, it will not
support any type of military
action in this situation. Costa
Rica is a country of peace and
law and we believe in that, we
advocate a peaceful route,” said
President Alvarado.
