Venezuela condemns violent assault on foreign minister
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.
