Peru expresses support for Venezuela Interim President, rejects Maduro's measures

17:29 | Lima, Mar. 28.

Foreign Affairs Minister Nestor Popolizio on Thursday affirmed Peru supports Venezuela's Interim President Juan Guaido, after the Bolivarian nation's State Comptroller decided to bar him from holding public office for 15 years.

El Perú rechaza la decisión del contralor general del ilegítimo y dictatorial régimen de Maduro que pretende inhabilitar al Presidente Encargado @jguaido, a quien reiteramos todo nuestro apoyo y solidaridad.

"Peru rejects the decision made by the Comptroller General of the illegitimate and dictatorial Maduro regime that intends to bar Interim President Juan Guaido, to whom we reaffirm all our support and solidarity," Popolizio posted on Twitter.

According to State Comptroller Elvis Amoroso, Guaido "allegedly" "hid or faked information" regarding his sworn declaration of assets. He also "allegedly" "received funds" from international and national organizations without clarification.

As is known, over 50 nations have recognized Guaido as the Interim President of Venezuela.

Peruvian measures

On January 4, the Lima Group announced it would not recognize the legitimacy of Maduro's new government. The Organization of American States (OAS) adopted the same stance.

Thus, Peru banned the entry of Maduro and 99 members of his regime —including their relatives— to its territory.

It also withdrew its Charge d'Affaires from Venezuela and deemed the Maduro administration as a dictatorship.
