Yes, the lawyer-dude was a supporter in self-imposed exile in the US. Chargé d'Affairs of the Venezuelan embassy in Washington DC.


He is an ambassador to Washington DC . . . these people are usually invited to things like this.

You know who else is invited?

The RUSSIAN ambassador . . . oh, and the Brit, German, French, Polish, Aussie, Japanese etc...


Go for it Skidmark - you're on a roll . . . and YOUR ambassador is also invited . . . he represents YOU, so if that isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel.







And to send them back to Venezuela before anyone can inspect them


Among those dignitaries is Carlos Vecchio, a former Exxon lawyer who currently serves as US-recognized “Interim President” Juan Guaidó’s envoy in Washington. When the Trump Administration initiated a coup against Venezuela’s government in January of 2019, Vecchio became Guaidó’s ambassador, and has risen to prominence as the de facto leader of a US-based exile lobby dedicated to toppling Venezuela’s UN-recognized government.

The Biden team’s decision to invite Vecchio was a disappointing sign to those hoping the new administration would break from Trump’s failed and destructive policy of recognizing Guaidó as Venezuela’s leader. In the two years since Washington appointed the previously unknown opposition figure to lead its attempt at regime change, Guaidó has failed to rally public support in Venezuela or gain control of any government ministry. The country’s military remains loyal to President Nicolás Maduro and the United Nations still recognizes the Maduro government’s authority.
