On Monday, Peru refused to recognize the results of the Venezuelan presidential election. The next day, Gonzalez-Olaechea said that he recognized the Venezuelan opposition candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, as the country's president-elect.
"The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has decided to sever diplomatic relations with the Republic of Peru based on Article 45 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961. We are forced to make this decision after the reckless statements of the Peruvian foreign minister," Gil said on X.
The presidential election of July 28 saw Nicolas Maduro win a third term in office. The announcement of the results sparked protests in the capital of Caracas and beyond, with clashes reported between the police and opposition supporters.
