    Brazil: FM heralds softer approach to Venezuelan crisis

    Brazil does not intend to break up with Venezuela, Vieira stressed

    Brazil's Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira insisted Wednesday that it was time to appease the diplomatic differences with Venezuela and not “repeat the mistakes we made with Guaidó's self-proclamation.” He was referring to the arguably illegal appointment of then-Congressman as interim head of state between Jan. 23 2019 and Jan. 25 2023 after not recognizing the elections' outcome. In the end, President Nicolás Maduro was never removed from the Miraflores Palace and Guaidó's legitimacy eventually faded away, with only some countries recognizing him.
