The EU’s High Representative for Foreign Policy recalled that, despite the fact that Venezuela called elections, “it was not a democracy before and it is even less so after.”
The High Representative for EU Foreign Policy, Joseph Borrelldescribed as “dictatorial regime” to the Venezuelan government and recalled “more than 2,000 detainees”, the “seven million” emigrants and the exiled opposition leaders.
“Naturally, it is a dictatorial, authoritarian, dictatorial regime, but by saying this, we are not helping matters. It’s about trying to solve it“, Borrell said in statements to Telecinco collected by Europa Press.
“In Venezuela, more than 2,000 people are arbitrarily detained after the elections. Opposition leader forced to flee. Political parties have been subjected to a thousand limitations in their actions. Seven million Venezuelans have fled their country. “Well, what do you call all this?” argued Borrell, who thus recalled the departure from the country to Spain of the presidential candidate of the Venezuelan opposition, Edmundo González.
Borrell said that “solving problems requires some verbal restraint, but let’s not be mistaken about the nature of things,” he insisted. “Venezuela has called elections, but It wasn’t a democracy before and it’s much less so after” he stressed.
