The declaration of Edmundo Gonzalezwinner of the Venezuelan presidential elections, in which he reveals that he was forced to recognize in writing to the Spanish embassy in Caracas the false triumph of the dictatorship, is extremely serious. The government of Pedro Sanchez must immediately clarify how it is possible that Delcy Rodrigueznumber two of the regime, could enter Spanish territory to blackmail and extort the elected president in such a despicable manner and explain the role played in this infamous extortion by the ambassador.
Without further delay, you must clarify how and under what circumstances our embassy was violated by the regime to force the winner of the elections to surrender. under threat of prison or death.
What is clear, whatever explanations the government offers, is that it is absolutely false that there were no negotiations between Sánchez’s executive power and the dictatorship of Wall for González’s departure to Spain. There was much more to it than that. Because if the role of the government was to allow our embassy to become the place where Edmundo González was subjected to such abject blackmail, the matter reaches an extreme gravity.
The government will have to clarify whether it authorized Delcy Rodríguez to use the Spanish embassy as psychological torture room to the real winner of the elections. And of course, if Delcy Rodríguez has carte blanche to enter Spanish territory whenever she wants. The statement by the elected president of Venezuela denouncing the extortion he suffered places the Sánchez government before the inexcusable obligation to clarify the facts. Because it is one thing to grant asylum to González for humanitarian reasons and another to contribute to a dictatorship that is miserably bringing Spain to its knees.
