The Maduro regime left asylum seekers in the Argentine embassy in Venezuela without water

The Chavista regime of Venezuela redoubles the siege of the Argentine embassy in Caracas. This Saturday, one of the asylum seekers reported that The water supply was denied to the diplomatic headquarters of Buenos Aires in Venezuela to the five refugees in the diplomatic headquarters under Brazilian protection. It occurs, in turn, just one day after another of the asylum seekers reported that the group was denied access to medication.

“From this Argentine prison/embassy protected by Brazil, today at 4:20 p.m. we report that access to water was denied to the Tanker Truck for the delivery of supplies,” Magalli Meda, Venezuelan activist and campaign manager of María Corina Machado, the main opposition leader in that country, from the Vente Venezuela party, denounced this Saturday through her social networks.

In August, the government of Nicolás Maduro decided to begin an incessant siege on the diplomatic headquarters of Argentina, due to the disagreements generated by the non-recognition of legitimacy of Maduro’s self-proclamation of victory in the last elections. Since then, Brazil has taken care of that building and the asylum seekers in it; as well as the interests of the Argentine foreign ministry and government in Venezuela. However, it is the Brazilian flag that flies on the mast.

And Meda continued: “The embassy is without water. Omar González’s medicines were denied yesterday. Water from the tanker truck was denied today.” The reference he made to González was based on what was reported on Friday, when the Chavista regime prohibited the entry of medicines into the Argentine diplomatic headquarters.

González is a journalist and member of the National Directorate of the Vente Venezuela party, and one of the five refugees in the Argentine headquarters.

Just as Meda did this Saturday, González used his Today access to vital medications to treat heart diseases was prohibitedwhich puts the lives of the politically persecuted asylum seekers here at risk.

The other three asylum seekers in the Argentine embassy in Caracas are Pedro Urruchurtu, Claudia Macero and Humberto Villalobosall collaborators of the Vente Venezuela party. Another opponent, Fernando Martínez Mottola, former minister and advisor to the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD), was the sixth refugee until he surrendered to the Chavista regime, on December 20, because he did not resist the pressure.

From Davos, Switzerland, and where he is participating in a renowned business forum, President Javier Milei referred to the issue of the siege on the Argentine embassy in Caracas: “We are going to continue working hard so that they are freed and so that this oppressive socialist regime , like every socialist regime, frees them”.

This situation of tension between the Milei government and the Maduro regime is also aggravated due to the arrest of the Argentine gendarme Nahuel Gallo, since December, and whose exact whereabouts have not yet been made public. After several requests from the family, photos and a short video as proof of life were barely released.

For their part, also in the last few hours both the US government, again under the administration of Donald Trump, and the European Parliament said that they do not recognize the new government of Nicolás Maduro, the third in a row, as legitimate.
