Eduardo Bolsonaro proposes a parallel government in Venezuela.

The son of Jair Bolsonaro, Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL-SP), who acts as a kind of informal foreign minister, proposes that South American countries support an alternative government to that of Nicolás Maduro, who takes office for his second term on the 10th; his government is recognized by major powers such as China and Russia, but Bolsonaro's son is betting on conflict.

247 - The son of Jair Bolsonaro, Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL-SP), who acts as a kind of informal foreign minister, proposes that South American countries support an alternative government to that of Nicolás Maduro, who takes office for his second term on the 10th. Recognized by major powers such as China and Russia, the Venezuelan government is treated as an enemy by the Bolsonaro government, which is betting on conflict.

"The non-recognition of @NicolasMaduro's new mandate, which begins on January 10, 2019, paves the way for democratic countries to recognize a transitional government. It is the beginning of a transition to a democratic system. The Bolivarian narco-dictatorship is starting to fall," he said on his Twitter page.

He clings to a decision taken by the opposition-controlled Venezuelan National Assembly, which declared this Saturday (5) that Nicolás Maduro's new term is illegitimate, despite the victory at the polls achieved on May 20.
