However, the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela denounces that the government of Costa RIca has flagrantly violated articles 22 and 25 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, by allowing, by action or omission, the violent occupation of our embassy in San José.

In this sense, Venezuela holds responsible to the government of Costa Rica for any loss and violation of the goods, archives and documents of the Embassy, according to article 24 of the Vienna Convention.
Likewise, the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela has decided to withdraw the diplomatic credential to Mr. Danilo González Ramirez, who was working as Chargé d’ affaires of the republic of Costa Rica in Venezuela.
