For its part, the Brazilian website Desacato published this: “there are almost a hundred people who want to invade the Venezuelan embassy because they want to confront the legitimacy of the Venezuelan authorities. There is another group in a process of resistance to prevent them from taking Venezuelan territory.”

On the occasion of the 209th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of Venezuela, demonstrations of support for this heroic feat were held this Sunday. One of the activities was led by the Diplomatic Corps in Plaza Bolívar de Brasilia, in front of the Embassy. Later, these violent groups would have arrived, trying to sabotage the activity and take over the diplomatic facilities.
