The Bolivarian nation's Government denied entry to five MEPs who visited the country last Sunday. They had been invited by Interim President Juan Guaido, who is recognized by 50 countries.

Be aware!Our passports have been taken and we’re being expelled from Venezuela. Bad manners and the only explanation is Maduro doesn’t want us here.

"Be aware! Our passports have been taken and we're being expelled from Venezuela. Bad manners and the only explanation is Maduro doesn't want us here," Spanish lawmaker Esteban Gonzalez Pons said on Twitter.

La delegación de eurodiputados invitada a Venezuela es expulsada por un régimen aislado y cada vez más irracional.

Es el usurpador quien eleva el costo a lo que es un hecho: la transición.

Ejerceremos toda la presión necesaria para lograr el cese de la usurpación. ¡Seguimos! pic.twitter.com/Mwvzi2l4Jr

Likewise, Guaido indicated the MEPs were expelled by an isolated and irrational regime.

Spain and France have also condemned these acts.
