EU Refuses to Send Delegation to Attend Maduro's Inauguration - Press Service
12:20 GMT 10.01.2019 (Updated: 17:08 GMT 12.04.2023) BRUSSELS (Sputnik) - The European Union and its member states will not send representatives to the upcoming inauguration of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Thursday.
"We have been very clear that the presidential elections were not free nor fair and we regret that in spite of all the calls by the international community, including the European Union, no fresh elections in conformity with international standards took place. In this context, the European Union and the member states will not participate in the presidential inauguration session today," the spokeswoman told a briefing.
