Declaration by the Government of the Czech Republic on situation in Venezuela

The Government of the Czech Republic deplores the fact that despite of repeated calls made by the international community, no steps toward holding of free and democratic elections were taken.

As such, the Government of the Czech Republic recognizes Juan Guaidó as Interim President who should lead Venezuela to the free and democratic elections.

In this regard it is necessary to recall that the last May presidential elections in Venezuela did not meet international standards and that the National Assembly presided by Juan Guaidó was democratically elected. The Government of the Czech Republic once again calls to respect human rights and to uphold the rule of law.
