Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa

Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa (born 1964) is the European Union Ambassador to Venezuela. She has been the ambassador since February 2018.[1] On June 29, 2020, Nicolás Maduro expelled Pedrosa, giving her 72 hours to leave the country,[2] but the decision was later reversed.[3]

Pedrosa had previously served as Portugal’s Consul General in Caracas[4] as well as Portugal's ambassador to Namibia (she presented her credentials on July 20, 2016)[5] and Libya.[6]
