Brazil's Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira asked his Venezuelan counterpart Yván Gil for a safe-conduct for the six opposition leaders staying at the premises of what used to be Argentina's Embassy in Caracas but has been left up to Itamaraty after the expulsion of Buenos Aires' mission.
The Brazilian flag was hoisted Thursday at the Argentine Embassy in Caracas, where six Venezuelan asylum seekers were left behind by the departing diplomatic team.
