These include searches in the residences of ambassadors in Bulgaria and the Bahamas, and searches at the homes of several executives of the National Council for Judicial Defence and of some of their parents. Since personal freedom and being safe in one’s own home are fundamental rights, can the Vice- President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy answer the following questions: 1. Is he aware of these events? 2. What measures will he take to protect the rights of Venezuelan citizens working with Juan Guaidò, who has been recognised by the EU as Venezuela's legitimate interim President? 3. Will he condemn these human rights infringements and take action to promote the restoration of freedom in Venezuela, putting political pressure on the Maduro regime? PE659.936v01-00.
