Government holds Nicolás

security Costa Rican
representative in Venezuela

By
the A.M. Costa Rica
staff
Through the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, the government
Wednesday announced its
rejection of the withdrawal of
the diplomatic credentials of
Mr. Danilo González, by Nicolás
Maduro.
According to the Ministry, Mr.
Gonzalez was the diplomatic
representative responsible for
businesses transactions between
Costa Rica and Venezuela. When
credentials are removed, the
life of the Costa Rican was put
at risk. "We hold the regime
responsible for the personal
security and integrity of the
representative of the State of
Costa Rica in that country."
Costa Rica has not yet received
an official communication on Mr.
Gonzales’ situation, since the
news was announced by Jorge
Arreaza, Nicolas Maduro's
chancellor in a press release
made in Venezuela.
"Only when such communication is
received, (the government) will
be able to adopt the pertinent
decisions regarding the
Mission's headquarters in
Caracas," the Ministry said in
its statement.
This action by Nicolas Maduro
was made after Costa Rica
announced the expulsion of
Maduro's representatives from
the Venezuelan embassy in Costa
Rica.
Among the people who left Costa
Rica were Nabil Mora, Angélica
Ramírez and Nelly Gliset. They
were representatives of Maduro
in the Venezuelan Embassy.
However, according to the
General Directorate of
Migration, two women Gliset and
Ramirez, returned to enter the
country a few hours later using
tourist passports.
The new team of diplomatic
representatives of Juan Guaido,
president of Venezuela, began
work at the Embassy on April 16.
As A.M.
Costa Rica reported, Maria
Faria was recognized by the
Costa Rican government as
the representative of the
Venezuelan government of
interim president Juan
Guaidó. She assumed control
of her country's embassy in
San Pedro, San José.
Ambassador Faria proclaimed,
"in the fulfillment of
diplomatic functions
assigned by President Guaidó
and recognized by the Costa
Rican Government, we assume
control of the
administrative headquarters
of the Embassy of Venezuela
in San José."
Information provided by the
embassy on February 8 was
that a group of people
removed the furniture that
was in the embassy so the
offices were almost empty.
On February 15th, President
Carlos Alvarado requested
that representatives of the
government of Nicolas Maduro
leave the country. President
Alvarado said the decision
was made after he had a
meeting with Mrs. Faria.
"We received the ambassador
sent by interim president
Guaidó who said that [since]
he was recognized by the
Costa Rican government, no
other representative has
official recognition from
Costa Rica," said President
Alvarado.
