Jorge Rodríguez Proposes Arrest of Edmundo González Urrutia for Treason and Declares Former Latin American Presidents 'Non Grata'
Jan 5, 2025, 06:09 PM
Jorge Rodríguez, the President of the Venezuelan Parliament, announced that Edmundo González Urrutia would face arrest if he returns to Venezuela, citing violations of the Simón Bolívar law and charges of usurpation of functions and treason. Rodríguez also declared that former Latin American presidents attempting to enter Venezuela without authorization would be designated as 'personas non grata' and treated as invaders. He emphasized that unauthorized entry by foreigners would be considered an act of invasion. This stance reflects a broader warning to neighboring countries regarding the treatment of their citizens in Venezuela, as noted by Eric Farnsworth, a former U.S. diplomat. Rodríguez has called for parliamentary support for the arrest request against González, reinforcing the Venezuelan government's strict approach to foreign political figures.
