Venezuela: Four opposition governors sworn in despite boycott
FOUR of five Venezuelan opposition state governors were sworn in on Monday before the constituent assembly despite their initial boycott.
The partial climbdown from the Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) coalition’s boycott of last week’s swearing-in ceremony came as its ally Washington said withdrawn embassy staff would return.
Tachira governor Laidy Gomez, Antonio Barreto from Anzoategui, Merida’s Ramon Guevara and Nueva Esparta’s Alfredo Diaz all took their vows in front of National Constituent Assembly speaker Delcy Rodriguez.
