The gymnastics coach celebrated this "political victory" of the president Nicolás Maduro and dedicated to the Leader of the Opposition, Juan Guaidó.

"For Juan Guaidó, who watches television. Let the world realize who is President Nicolás Maduro. Congratulations, Venezuela! "Diego Maradona wrote on his Instagram account, while illustrating the situation with the capture of an article on the site RT.

The current gymnastics coach, La Plata, has excellent relations with the president of Venezuela and generally makes this love public. Even in the worst moments, Diego supported his government and even said: "When Maduro orders it, I'm dressed as a soldier for a free Venezuela."

Nicolás Maduro described as "victory" the banking operations carried out at the United Nations Human Rights Council for the period 2020-2022. "iVictory at the UN! With 105 votes in favor of Venezuela enters as a free and sovereign country in the United Nations Human Rights Council. Above the threats, our Bolivarian peace diplomacy and the free self-determination of peoples have triumphed, "he said on Twitter.
