It would be interesting, and encouraging, if the other guy's faction set up shop outside the embassy to prevent Maduro's people from taking the embassy. Nevertheless, a gauntlet has been thrown down. We will see how far Maduro will go after his ultimatum. He may extend the deadline, with the hopes he doesn't have to take action, but I think that would be unwise. A leader in such a precarious position needs to follow through.

Yeah, my past guard experience would be no as official policy. Our policy was screw you we're bringing our own ammo.
His first priority was instead to re-write the Constitution. He was direct about it, telling the Venezuelan congress in 1999: "The constitution, and with it the ill-fated political system to which it gave birth 40 years ago, has to die. It is going to die, sirs -- accept it."
Chavez succeeded in re-writing the Constitution, which came with new rights to things like free government-provided health care, college, and “social justice”. The constitution passed a popular vote easily, with 72% of the vote.
The basic structure of both the old and new constitutions followed the U.S. model – with a Presidency, a legislative branch, and a Supreme Court.
However, after several Supreme Court rulings went against Chavez, in 2004 he “stacked the court” by passing a law to add 12 new justices to it – justices that he got to pick.
America may be a long way from Venezuela’s tragedy, experts say. Polls show that many of the 37 percent of Americans who say they support “socialism” actually have in mind the generous welfare states seen in Europe, rather than the traditional definition of socialism – the nationalization of production.
Giannina Raffo personally experienced the effects of Chavez’s economic policies, which caused massive shortages and hyperinflation.
“Just before coming to the U.S. in January 2016, my family and I used to make +8 hour lines to buy basic goods.”
Food was her biggest worry.
“It’s the same that Cuba has – basically you can only buy a certain amount of food per week (2 pastas, 2 milks, 1 chicken, etc).”
She noted that, often, even that amount was not available. Surveys show the average Venezuelan has lost 24 pounds.
My advice to people, especially to youth, is to never stop fighting for their freedom. Never let your country be ruined by a "Chavez" or anyone,” she said.
“Don't let someone ruin your next generations with absurd ideas of socialism. Educate and disseminate ideas of freedom as far you can.”

Seems like the letter outlines their response. Senor Maduro: Either have elections w/in 8 days, or we will recognize the other guy as El Supremo.
Now, to me, the real question is what right do the EU have to tell the leadership of Venezuela that they don't like them so have an election and change it up.

Maduro says he is breaking off relations with the US, accuses US of leading coup
The US would NEVER interfere in the internal issues of a foreign government!
Hmm, the EU, they've got ships, planes, guns and bombs to use up and replace. Germany and France have their brand spanking new military partnership agreement. Venezuela has lotsa gold and oil to take over. And Columbia is a NATO global partner. We really need to bomb those people to save them from their government that will no doubt gas attack them most any day now. And come on, isn't it about time South America had a continental war? And Russia and China, why they're perfectly happy to stick up for Venezuela so together we have the makings of another profitable proxy war. These days we'll have to share the rebuilding contracts with China but what's not to like?
Yeah, men apparently....

Maybe his head is simply too big for just one body.
