VENEZUELA warned of a “conspiracy” today after refusing to allow five right-wing “interventionist” European MPs to enter the country to meet Washington-backed coup leader Juan Guaido.

The group had previously been warned against travelling to Venezuela, with the Foreign Ministry saying that those with “conspiratorial aims” would barred from entry and calling on them to avoid the “provocation.”

Group leader Esteban Gonzalez Pons of Spain claimed: “We are being expelled from Venezuela. Our passports have been seized. They have not informed us of the reason for the expulsion.”
