The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, received this Thursday in La Moncloa the Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia. “I warmly welcome @EdmundoGU to our country, which we welcome, demonstrating the humanitarian commitment and solidarity of Spain with the Venezuelans,” wrote the head of the executive in a message on his social networks.
Sánchez published a video in which he walks through the gardens of Moncloa with the Venezuelan opposition leader, who fled to Spain on Sunday, where he requested political asylum. “Spain continues to work for democracy, dialogue and the fundamental rights of the brother people of Venezuela,” Sánchez wrote.
