The Cuban American Bar Association released a statement on Monday stiffly condemning the Cuban Government for its ongoing support of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, as much of the international community now recognises opposition leader Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s president.

“To date, more than 50 countries worldwide recognise Juan Guaidó as the legitimate leader of Venezuela,” said CABA president and Kozyak Tropin & Throckmorton attorney Maria Garcia in a written statement. “Notwithstanding, the Cuban Government finds itself among the list of nations, including China and Russia, who maintain steadfast support for Nicolas Maduro’s repressive, illegitimate regime in Venezuela.”
