EU parliament recognises guaido as Venezuelan interim president
VTV.vn - The European Parliament recognized Venezuela's self-declared interim president Juan Guaido as de facto head of state. This statement was made by the spokesman of the UN Secretary-General yesterday.

EU lawmakers voted 439 in favour to 104 against, with 88 abstentions, to recognise Venezuelan congress head Guaido as interim leader. In a statement, the parliament considered Guaido "the only legitimate interim president" until there were "new free, transparent and credible presidential elections".

Juan Guaido on Wednesday hailed an "international coalition" of support for elections in the country, following a telephone call with U.S. President Donald Trump.
