Which countries have recognized Juan Guaidó as president of Venezuela?

Circumstances that cross the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela have awakened various positions and statements before the atypical scenario of a country that counts, besides Nicolás Maduro, president elected in the elections of May 20, with the figure of Juan Guaidó, leader of the National Assembly and self-appointed president.

In this sense, over the past few hours, the increased European weight bloc has clarified its steps by saying that if President Nicolás Maduro does not call early elections, he will then recognize Mr Guaidó as president in charge.

With this statement, so far, 28 countries have tacitly recognized this scenario. Whether officially or often through social networks or the signing of joint statements, representatives of the highest political spheres have expressed themselves on this subject.

However, if we consider that 195 States are recognized by the United Nations (this number includes the 193 UN Member States and 2 observer members, such as the case of the Holy See and the State of Palestine), the truth is that Is that there is a vast majority of nations who have not spoken about it.

The economic scenario that runs through our region is far from the one that marked the beginning of the century in Latin America. In the Lima Group, the events of recent weeks have aggravated the harbadment of Nicolás Maduro's Bolivarian government, ignoring its mandate and imposing economic and political sanctions.

At the regional level, at present, 14 countries in the Americas have declared their support for the recognition of Guaidó as the leader of Venezuela. They are: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and the United States.

In turn, the case of Europe marks the support to the President of the National Assembly by 14 countries also: Albania, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Spain, France, Georgia, Holland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland , Portugal, United Kingdom. and Sweden.

In addition to this point, it is necessary to point out that today, members of the Lima group will meet in Ottawa, Canada, in person, to badyze the situation in this Caribbean country.

Despite this meeting and the final resolution issued, the truth is that this space lacks institutional legitimacy and is simply the result that several states have found after failing to reach consensus within the framework of the Organization's American states (OAS), where the group of Caribbean countries (CARICOM) "hampers" the approval of the measures presented by this block.
