Venezuelan deputy Julio Borges, appointed as commissioner for Foreign Relations by the head of Parliament, Juan Guaidó, asked countries that support the opposition leader to replicate El Salvador's measure of expelling representatives of the Government of Nicolás Maduro.

"We support the measure taken by the Government of El Salvador to expel the representatives of the regime and ask that it be replicated by all the countries that recognize the National Assembly (Parliament), and the president in charge Juan Guaidó," he said on Twitter.

Minutes later, Guaidó, recognized as interim president for more than fifty countries, also expressed, through the same social network, his thanks to the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, for the “support for the Venezuelan cause” which, he considered, “isolates more to the Maduro regime. ” "It is part of the international pressure that we have to find in the streets," said the opposition leader.

On Saturday night the Government of El Salvador ordered the expulsion of the Venezuelan diplomatic corps accredited in the Central American country and gave it 48 hours to leave the territory. "The Government of El Salvador expels the diplomatic corps from the regime of Nicolás Maduro, being consistent with the repeated statements of President Nayib Bukele, in which the legitimacy of the Maduro government is not recognized," the Salvadoran government said in a statement.

In the same document, the Government of Bukele said that "it recognizes the legitimacy of the president in charge, Juan Guaidó, while free elections are held in accordance with the Venezuelan Constitution."

In response to this expulsion, the Maduro Executive applied the "principle of reciprocity" and ordered the expulsion of the diplomatic corps of El Salvador accredited in Caracas.

The Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Jorge Arreaza, shared a statement on Twitter in which he declared himself “unpleasant to the members of the diplomatic staff” of El Salvador in Venezuela, to whom he also gave 48 hours to leave the country.
