Wikipedia Description: Embassy of Venezuela, Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Embassy of Venezuela in Washington, D.C. is the diplomatic mission of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to the United States. The embassy is located at 1099 30th Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C. in the Georgetown neighborhood.

The embassy also operates Consulates-General in Boston, Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, Houston, Miami, and New Orleans.

Because diplomatic relations have been broken off between Nicolás Maduro administration and the U.S since January 24, 2019, all of the Venezuelan embassies and consulates in the US are now being administered by Juan Guaidó's representatives, recognized by the US as the acting president of Venezuela during the Venezuelan presidential crisis, and Venezuelans now have restricted access to consular services.

Handover during the Venezuelan presidential crisis

On January 24, 2019, Nicolás Maduro ordered the closure of both the embassy and all Venezuelan consulates in the United States. This move came as a response to US recognition of opposition leader Juan Guaidó as interim president.

On January 29, 2019 Juan Guaidó appointed Carlos Vecchio to serve as Venezuelan chargé d'affaires to the United States. This move was recognized by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Occupation by Code Pink

On April 10, 2019, the group Code Pink began occupying the embassy by invitation from the Maduro government. As of May 1, fifty US activists supporting Maduro were occupying the building and the embassy was locked down. Hundreds of supporters of Guaidó assembled in front of the embassy on May 1, to hear an address by Carlos Vecchio. There was a clash between pro-Maduro and pro-Guaidó protesters. Code Pink alleges that the opposition became violent and cut off food to the embassy, claiming that "the police are doing absolutely nothing". The pro-Guaidó protesters were primarily Venezuelan expatriates and the pro-Maduro protesters ...More...

2008 photos: Equipment this year: I was using three cameras -- the Fuji S9000 and the Canon Rebel Xti from last year, and a new camera, the Fuji S100fs. The first two cameras had their pluses and minuses and I really didn't have a single camera that I thought I could use for just about everything. But I loved the S100fs and used it almost exclusively this year. Trips this year: (1) Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Springfield, Missouri , (2) a week in New York, (3) a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con, (4) a driving trip to St. Louis, and (5) a visit to dad and Dixie's in Asheville, North Carolina. Ego strokes: A picture I'd taken last year during a Friends of the Homeless event was published in USA Today with a photo credit and everything! I became a volunteer photographer with the AFI/Silver theater. Number of photos taken this year: 330,000.
