The Argentine Government stands with and supports Congressman Juan Guaidó and his family following today's incident, during which he was detained for a few hours by members of the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN).
This incident, which violates the civil and political freedoms of Venezuelans, in this case against the President of the National Assembly, ratifies the urgent need to restore democratic order and respect for human rights in Venezuela.
The Argentine Government hopes that Maduro's regime will guarantee civil, political and movement freedoms for Venezuela's opposition, as well as their bodily integrity, and refrain from any intimidation or harassment acts such as the one against the President of the National Assembly, Venezuela's constitutionally legitimate institution.
