Argentina withdraws from Lima Group backing regime change in Venezuela

ARGENTINA has withdrawn from the Lima Group of countries established in 2017 to push for regime change in Venezuela.

Buenos Aires withdrew symbolically on March 24 — the Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice, which commemorates victims of Argentina’s “dirty war” on the anniversary of the 1976 coup d’etat. 

It condemned the group’s support for sanctions on Venezuela in the midst of a global pandemic and its treatment of the self-proclaimed Juan Guaido administration, a US-backed body with no territory, as Venezuela’s representative within it.
