The Metropolitan Police of Washington illegally broke into the Venezuelan embassy after breaking the locks on its doors. There they delivered an eviction document, without any signature, to the activists who are inside the building since mid-April, before the threat of usurpation by Carlos Vecchio, a “representative” of the oppositionist Juan Guaidó.
However, the agents withdrew immediately and the Collective of Protectors of the Embassy, as the group of activists is called, remains inside the Venezuelan diplomatic headquarters.
Protesters inside and outside the building rejected the attack as a violation of the Vienna Convention. In addition, they assured that the illegal surrendering of the embassy to leaders of the Venezuelan opposition is part of the continued coup d’etat against the constitutional government of Nicolás Maduro.
The eviction document, without any letterhead or signatures, indicates that the US Government acknowledges Vecchio and, by orders of this, all the people who are inside the Venezuelan embassy would be evicted.
The text culminates with a threat: “Anyone who refuses to obey the demands and orders to evacuate the property will be in violation of federal and District of Columbia law, and could be arrested and criminally prosecuted”.
