Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Ireland was one of the last EU countries to recognise Juan Guaidó as interim President to facilitate free and fair presidential elections. We are not alone in this. That is the only objective here. We reject any approach that may involve military intervention, absolutely. We are looking for peaceful democratic decisions to allow Venezuelan people decide on who is their President.
