It is an obligation to keep it and, although the government has officially recognized its powers and immunities to Elisa Trotta Gamus as ambbadador of Guaidó in Argentina, she knows that Clarin there is no intention to give him the embbady. Argentina has taken every one of its measures against the Maduro regime in the Lima Group area and evacuating the headquarters does not seem to be an encouragement for these countries.

Even if the management was changed, there was only the last ambbadador left – Macri also has the management of business in Caracas – and the highest official is now Minister Counselor Juan José Valero Nuñez. who has been here since 2013.

Headquarters has considerably reduced its activity but, although Venezuelans in Argentina complain about its operation, it continues to play a central role in consular matters.
