EU states move to recognize Venezuela’s Guaido: diplomats 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersBRUSSELS (Reuters) – European Union governments will move to recognize Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s interim president from next week, but using cautious language for fear of setting a precedent for political crises, two EU diplomats said on Friday. The majority of other, smaller EU countries will throw their support behind Guaido but have agreed to avoid explicitly using the words “recognition” and “recognize”. According to two documents prepared for EU diplomats and seen by Reuters, they will “acknowledge support” for Guaido in his role as interim president. “A lot of countries will want to stress the interim nature of this de-facto recognition,” one EU diplomat said.
