The statement was given because Bolsonaro is one of the few leaders to recognize Venezuelan rival Juan Guaidó as the country’s interim president after he declared himself.

At the time, he alleged that Maduro was re-elected in a rigged election that led to the suspension of diplomatic relations between Brazil and Venezuela.
