VENEZUELA protested to Argentina after security guards violently assaulted Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez in Buenos Aires on Wednesday.
Ms Rodriguez was trying to attend a foreign minister’s meeting of regional trade bloc Mercosur at the Argentinian Foreign Ministry, despite Venezuela’s suspension last week.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said he had lodged a formal letter of protest with the Argentinian government over its “cowardice” in the unprecedented incident earlier that day.
