Guaidós Ambassador in Berlin : The Venezuelan Dilemma of German foreign policy

Otto Gebauer, a office in Berlin is looking for at least once. "In Venezuela, a tragedy happens, it is becoming clearer by the day that a Communist dictatorship is erected," says the opposition politician, in an interview with the daily mirror. Its slopes match up the Dilemma of the Germans is revealed, but foreign policy: Gebauer, the son of a German and a Venezuelan, is understood as a new Ambassador, sent by interim President Juan Guaidó. But the Foreign office does not recognise him as such – although it is recognised Guaidó, President of the former national Assembly, as interim President of the country with the largest Oil reserves.

But now Maduro is pulling in the reins, Guiadó should be deprived of the immunity but it could repeat the fate of others, with great hopes of opposition leaders such as Leopoldo López - carried out under flimsy reasons, firmly, and politically turned off. The people are afraid of the infamous Colectivos, thugs on motorcycles, are increasingly on the go.
