Decision that has been notified to the states concerned through diplomatic channels.

Venezuela is forced to make this decision motivated by the evidence that exists about the use of the facilities of that diplomatic mission for the planning of terrorist activities and assassination attempts against the Constitutional President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros and against the Executive Vice President, Delcy Rodriguez Gómez, by the fugitives from the Venezuelan justice system who remain inside it.
