The Venezuelan ambassador to Brazil, Manuel Vadell, will return to Brasília to continue his duties after having been called for consultation by the Venezuelan government.
Two weeks ago, the Venezuelan government summoned the ambassador to Brazil and the chargé d’affaires of Brazil in Venezuela, Breno Hermann, responding to the “interfering and rude” statements by Celso Amorim, special advisor on foreign affairs for the Brazilian president.
“The national and international community is informed that, following the instructions of President Nicolás Maduro Moros, it has been decided to summon Ambassador Manuel Vadell, who represents us in Brasilia, for consultation, immediately,” cited the Foreign Ministry at that time.
The decision to call the Venezuelan ambassador for consultation came after Brazil vetoed Venezuela’s ascension to the BRICS at the bloc’s summit in Kazan, Russia, in October.
Maduro: Veto by Brazil’s Foreign Ministry Will Not Silence Venezuela
Brazil will not “make the same mistakes” with Venezuela
On Wednesday, November 13, Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira stated that his country cannot “make the mistakes that we made at the time of the self-proclamation” of former deputy Juan Guaidó as “interim president” of Venezuela.
“The solution has to come from the Venezuelans themselves and not imposed from the outside with more sanctions and isolation,” Vieira said. “We have already seen that it does not work.”
Earlier this week, President Lula da Silva finally spoke about Venezuela, when he declared that he can no longer be concerned with the politics of other countries in the region and that his government will instead focus on the welfare of the Brazilian people.
During an interview, Lula da Silva said that one must “be careful” when dealing with other countries and other presidents. He added that he has to “try to fight for this country to function,” referring to Brazil.
