Erm, where are you getting this information? Most countries, if they've expressed a view on the issue, support Guaido, including essentially the entire EU:

Though I can't say no member states recognize him, the sources on Wikipedia are largely tweets and I'm not sure how up to date they are, the EU as a whole has retracted their support for him as interim president.

Interesting, I see why this news slipped by given the date.

Edit: If I'm reading this correctly, the EU is not walking back their recognition here but rather updating it

I don't know what the difference is, they don't recognize him currently even if they did in the past.
The difference is that further elections & governmental procedure occurred in Venezuela and the EU is simply updating their recognition in light of that. They aren't timidly walking back their earlier recognition as if they were caught supporting the wrong guy.
