Venezuelan govt announces to expel German ambassador Daniel Kriener from country

The Venezuelan government has announced to expel German ambassador Daniel Kriener from the country. President Nicolás Maduro’s embattled government yesterday declared the German ambassador persona non grata and ordered him to leave the country within 48 hours. 

According to an official statement, he was accused of recurrent acts of interference in internal affairs of Venezuela. Mr Kriener was among a group of diplomats who helped opposition leader Juan



Guaidó return to Venezuela on Monday by meeting him at the airport.

Meanwhile, UN Human Rights Chief said, sanctions have worsened Venezuela's crippling economic and political crisis, as Washington warned it may expand measures targeting the Maduro government. UN Rights chief Michelle Bachelet said, sanctions had exacerbated the crisis but also slammed Maduro's violations of civil and political rights.
