The Popular Party demands that the entire Government say “loud and clear” that Venezuela “has a dictatorship” as the minister has already done Marguerite RoblesThis is what its secretary general demanded this Saturday, Cuca Gamarraafter the Defense chief called the government of Nicolás Maduro a “dictatorship,” which in turn responded call the ambassador for consultations Venezuelan in Madrid and summoning the Spanish representative in Caracas.
In statements to the press this Saturday from Logroño, where he participated in the tribute to former councilor María Teresa Hernández, who died this year, Gamarra also asked that Pedro Sánchez’s executive support the agreement adopted in Congress for recognize the opponent Edmundo González as the elected president of the Latin American country.
“There is something very clear: defending democracy for the Venezuelan people, defending the electoral result and, therefore, the will and the truth of what happened in the last elections in Venezuela, demand recognition of Edmundo González“do what is right in a democracy,” said the PP’s “number two.”
Asked about the government’s warning that the PP attitude can harm trade relations between Spain and Venezuela, Gamarra said that no one should regret having asked for democracy and defending it “in their country and in the rest of the countries of the world.” Thus, he said that The Executive “is wrong when it does not raise its voice”“We invite you, as the Minister of Defense did the other day, Say it loud and clear: Venezuela today has a dictatorship“Maduro is a dictator,” he stressed.
In this sense, Gamarra rejected the fact that calling the Venezuelan government a dictatorship would have negative consequences, because “saying it loud and clear, denouncing it and fighting against it” it only has positive results and these will be positive results for everyone.”
“To our companies and to our interests economic, social, They will only succeed in Venezuela if there is democracy. And we also don’t need to look at it from a selfish point of view, as to how things are going to work out for us. We need to look at it from a democratic point of view, that is, with the democracy of other countries, you cannot do business or negotiate to make things work out better for you as a country or for your interests,” he added.
For this reason, the “popular” leader launched a new appeal to the government to join in recognizing Edmundo González as the elected president of Venezuela. Recognizing González, he insisted, is “defend democracythe electoral result of the last elections, because that is what all Venezuelans decided,” while demanding that the minutes of the July 28 elections be made public.
