Italy: Pro-Guaido delegation seeks Italian support in Rome

Venezuelan lawmakers and supporters of opposition leader Juan Guaido held a joint press conference at the Italian Foreign Press Association in Rome on Tuesday.
Guaido’s representative for emergency aid from Europe Rodrigo Diamanti said he was “very happy” for the support they had received from Italian people and their institutions so far, and said “our position as a delegation is to continue until the national assembly organizes elections as soon as possible.”
The delegation from Venezuela visited the Italian capital in an effort to persuade the government and the Vatican to support Venezuela’s opposition leader and self-declared president Juan Guaido and back the resignation of President Nicolas Maduro.
