President Nicolás Maduro assured this Wednesday that there will be “no deal” with the European Union unless it “rectifies” its sanctions against Venezuela, after declaring the maximum representative of the bloc in the country, Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa, a person not pleasing for the second time.

“Either you rectify or with you there is never any deal, of any kind; no type of dialogue, gentlemen of the European Union, "said the president during an activity broadcast on state television.

Maduro, surrounded by US sanctions that include an oil embargo, affirmed that his government had taken "important steps" with a European country to restore dialogue between sectors of the opposition and Chavismo. "But not like this," he declared.

He subscribed for $ 39,800 pesos a year.

“We would not have wanted to do this, we do it against our will, even because we want to have the best relations with all of Europe, but we cannot accept that anyone comes to attack Venezuela, to sanction Venezuela. We are not going to accept it, from anyone, ”he observed.

Hence, the government of Venezuela declared this Wednesday a person not welcome and expelled the ambassador in Caracas of the European Union, the Portuguese Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa, giving her 72 hours to leave the country in reciprocity to the new sanctions of the bloc.

The Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Jorge Arreaza, said that, by decision of President Maduro, he delivered "in his hands" to the European diplomat "the declaration as persona non grata."

The Maduro administration thus responded to sanctions against 19 officials, including Remigio Ceballos, one of Venezuela's main military leaders; Indira Alfonzo, president of the National Electoral Council (CNE), and two congressmen.

The 19 Venezuelan officials are accused of undermining democracy after the December 6 parliamentary elections, boycotted and branded as fraud by the major opposition political parties.

Unknown to the United States, the European Union and several Latin American countries, the votes gave the government party and its allies 256 out of 277 seats in Parliament, with which Maduro took control of the only power that was in the hands of the opposition.
