🇪🇨✔️🇻🇪⚡️— Ecuador recognizes Edmundo González Urrutia as the winner of the Venezuelan presidential elections; see the full statement:

"Following public allegations of the severe democratic crisis in Venezuela and the evident manipulation of the election results in that country, the Government of Ecuador expresses its recognition of Edmundo González as the legitimate winner of the Venezuelan presidential elections.

The old politics attempted, through fraud and irregularities, to usurp the real outcome of the counting process. This recognition by Ecuador is based on respecting the legitimate will of the people of this nation, clearly expressed at the polls and supported by the people’s mobilization in the streets in recent days.

Respect for democracy, justice, and electoral transparency is not a matter of ideologies. It is about principles. At these crucial and decisive moments, we have a moral obligation, with no room for hesitation or timidity, to declare loudly where we stand. With pride, we say: we are not on the side of indifference. What is happening there concerns us all. From our position, we will do everything possible to prevent the region from becoming a haven for impunity and the stripping away of citizens' rights.

The will of all peoples is untouchable, it is sacred. Therefore, Ecuador calls on the international community to respect the Venezuelan sacrifice and to join in this effort to safeguard the real decision of this country to become free again."

🇧🇷🪖🛫🇻🇪 — Fearing an invasion of the Argentine embassy under Brazilian defense, Defense Minister José Múcio declared that the Brazilian Armed Forces are prepared to send a plane to Caracas, the capital of Venezuela.

❗️ Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira and the Defense Minister discussed the crisis scenario in Venezuela under Maduro's dictatorship. Múcio also indicated in the interview that Brazilian military forces could provide protection to the Argentine embassy and to Peruvian diplomats who have requested help.

⌛ However, the deployment of Brazilian troops to Venezuela is still awaiting authorization from the Maduro government, which has not yet been granted.

“Yesterday, I spoke with Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira to inform him that we already had personnel ready, available, with a plane and everything necessary to protect our chancellery, our embassy, and the personal security of our ambassador. Then the issue of guarding the Argentine embassy came up. Last night, the Peruvian embassy issue arose. We are ready to deploy the necessary personnel, but I have not yet received a signal.”

#JUSTIN 🇵🇦🗳🇻🇪Panama joins the recognition of Edmundo Gonzales as elected President of Venezuela. Let respect for the popular will prevail as the basis of democracy.
