Venezuelan opposition envoy Gustavo Tarre addresses OAS

Al Jazeera  

A Venezuelan opposition envoy has addressed the Organization of the American States from the South American country’s seat, the first time it has happened in two decades. Gustavo Tarre delivered a speech during a session held by the OAS’s Permanent Council on Tuesday, three months after opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself an interim leader on the basis that President Nicolas Maduro’s 2018 re-election was illegitimate. Ambassadors from at least four Caribbean countries left the room before Tarre spoke, showing their opposition to his recognition as Venezuela’s representative to the OAS. The OAS voted to recognise Tarre as Venezuela’s official delegate earlier this month, with 18 votes in favour, nine against, six abstentions and one absence.
