This Friday, the Popular Party demanded that the government dismiss the Spanish ambassador to Venezuela, Ramón Santos, while the opposition leader, Alberto Nuñez Feijooregretted that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, “does not defend democracy” by having “disregarded” the mandate of the Congress of Deputies to recognize Edmundo González as president-elect and winner of the presidential elections of July 28.
The popular launched this offensive against the Executive after Venezuela will call its ambassador to Spain for consultationsThis decision by the Nicolas Maduro regime is motivated by the statements of the Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, who censored the “persecution” and the “limitation of fundamental rights” suffered by Venezuelan opponents.
“For the first time, someone from Pedro Sánchez’s government is telling the truth,” said the deputy secretary for Institutional Affairs and head of Foreign Affairs of the PP, Esteban Gonzalez Ponsfrom Athens, where he traveled with Feijóo to meet with the Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis. “It had to be Margarita Robles because Pedro Sánchez does not know, does not want or is not free. Venezuela is a dictatorship, Margarita Robles said it and it is the pure truth,” he added.
In this sense, Pons accused the Sánchez government of “putting pressure on criminals” and He criticized the fact that he had not recalled his ambassador as if made with Argentina for the personal attacks of its president, Javier Milei, against Sánchez and his family. “It seems incredible that this government would withdraw the Argentine ambassador, that Sánchez does not like the president but that it is a democracy and yet keep him in Venezuela which, even if Sánchez does not see it, is a dictatorship. I think the time has come to normalize relations with Argentina and with Israel, which are democracies, and put the Venezuelan regime where it deserves to be,” he added.
