Portugal's government on Sunday condemned an overnight firebomb attack on Venezuela's consulate in Lisbon, amid tensions over Nicolas Maduro's contested swearing in for another term as Venezuela's leader.

"The Portuguese government roundly condemns the attack on Venezuela's consulate in Lisbon," the foreign ministry said on X, adding that security would be stepped up.

Portuguese media reported police sources as saying a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the building, which was closed at the time. Nobody was hurt.

The Lisbon government stated that "the inviolability of diplomatic missions must be respected under all circumstances".

Venezuela's foreign minister, Yvan Gil, denounced the attack as "fascism" and thanked Portugal for its "swift intervention".

Friday saw the investiture for a third term of Maduro as president after a controversial election win in July.

The United States and much of Latin America have recognised his challenger, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, as the legitimate election winner and accused Maduro of staging a "coup".
