The Popular Party (PP) This Wednesday he won a symbolic battle against the government of Pedro Sánchez after having managed to carry out a non-law proposal for the Congress of Deputies to recognize the Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia as president-elect of Venezuela. This is precisely the your hard Genoa Following this affair, which puts a strain, if possible even more, on his relationship with Moncloa. From then on, the coalition government maintained a cautious position and in compliance with the European Union (EU).
“Do not be afraid, for you are right” ” Alberto Núñez Feijóo told Venezuelans in front of the media of the Latin American country NTN24, after the vote in which his formation was victorious. After celebrating and sending “a message in favor of democracies”, the popular leader was quick to attack the socialists: “Even the vote against the PSOE does not tarnish this great step”, he wrote on his profile on the social network X.
A term that he reiterated on the aforementioned Venezuelan television, in front of which he described the rejection by the socialist bench of his initiative as “a black spot in history” training, while stressing that this decision “makes no sense.” In Feijóo’s eyes, it also does not matter that “Spain, being one of the most important countries in the European Union, is not at the forefront of the electoral recognition of last July 28 in Venezuela.”
Statements that were ratified by the parliamentary spokesperson, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, and in turn one of the most critical of the regime of Nicolas Maduro. Likewise, the deputy also assured that the PP I would continue to “work day by day” so that Spain and other parliaments “accept the truth” of the Venezuelan people.
Precisely, it will be within the EU where they will be “in the majority”, Feijóo stressed. And this Thursday, the European People’s Party (EPP) will include the appearance before the International Criminal Courteven though it will be next Tuesday when it will be debated in the European Parliament (EP). A very similar initiative to the one they brought to the Congress, but at the community level.
A question that had already been announced in a veiled way through X by the vice president of the community chamber, the popular González Pons, and that a few hours later laSexta was able to confirm. In fact, the deputy secretary general of the PP was also one of the hardest in this debate, alongside other party figures such as Miguel Tellado, who, after the vote, demanded that the The government “abandons equidistance”.
All this in a critical tone of the PP that has also reached the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, who, during his trip to China, reiterated that Spain will not recognize González Urrutia’s victory for nowbut he will try to achieve this within the EU within “a margin of mediation until the end of the year”. A point showing a clear Align with caution This has characterized the positioning of the community group in the face of the current political crisis in Venezuela.
It is worth noting that the EU has already officially asked the Bolivarian regime of Maduro to share election records of the last elections. Thus, once published, a solution will be found that reflects the democratic will of the Venezuelans. This is precisely the explanation offered by Sánchez, although Feijóo justifies the socialists’ rejection of his initiative in Congress by the fact that his secretary general “has an interest that the Spanish people do not share.”
“Scorched earth opposition” is the adjective used this Thursday by the parliamentary spokesperson of the PSOE, Patxi López, to define the attitude of the people towards the activity and decisions of the Spanish government. López made these statements after being asked whether there were concerns within the executive regarding the resolution prepared by the Venezuelan Parliament to urge the Maduro government to break off “all diplomatic, consular, economic and commercial relations” with Spain.
In Lopez’s eyes, this announcement “is the demonstration that the policy of the Popular Party, according to which everything that attacks the government, has consequences and that they are not good for this country.” The member of the government, Pilar Alegría, was a little less energetic, disfiguring the popular that, even if “the government works for the Venezuelan people,” they “serve the people.”
In this sense, it is worth recalling that the President of the Government has already made progress during his trip to China and that on his return would meet Edmundo González Urrutia in Madrid. City where he has been since last Sunday after a Spanish Air Force plane brought him back from Caracas after apply for political asylumgiven his possible arrest by the Maduro regime.
Since then, he has not appeared publicly at any event, unlike his daughter CarolineIt was last Tuesday when the Venezuelan, after attending as a guest the debate in Congress on the consideration of the PP’s non-law proposal, read some words of gratitude that his father devoted himself to both government and Hundreds of Venezuelans and opponents gathered in the Plaza de las Cortés Madrid will demand González Urrutia as president of Venezuela.
