Venezuela está más fuerte desde el punto de vista constitucional y de sus instituciones, que están cada vez mejor estructuradas. Sin embargo, no podemos cansarnos ni rendirnos, debemos mantenernos en lucha permanente por la defensa soberana de la Patria. pic.twitter.com/FbBMyo4WDI

On January 6, 2021, the European Union announced that the block no longer recognizes opposition politician Juan Guaido as Venezuelan's interim president following the parliament's instauration. Last year, the international observers who monitored the parliamentary elections urged the European Union, Canada, and the U.S. to recognize the democratic results.
On the other hand, Venezuelan authorities expect the visit of a commission from the United Nations to study the impact of the U.S. blockade on the South American nation.
