On March 26, 2024, the Argentine government confirmed that President Javier Milei confirmed Magalli Meda, Pedro Urruchurtu, Humberto Villalobos, Claudia Macero, Omar González and Fernando Martínez Mottola had been received at the residence of the Argentine embassy in Caracas as guests. The next day, the embassy was withdrawn from the electric service. On March 29, the Argentine government officially granted diplomatic asylum to the leaders.
