Spain Tries To Calm Spiralling Row With Venezuela
Tensions have been growing since Spain offered asylum to opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez.

Tensions have been growing since Spain offered asylum to opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez.

“What should the international community do? Edmundo González won the Venezuelan election, there is nothing more to talk about. He is the president-elect.”

Spain’s socialist government seems to be trying to play both sides, as it has also refused to recognise Edmundo González as the legitimate winner of the Venezuelan election.

China supports Maduro so it can recover the multimillion-dollar investments it made in Venezuela. But the Chinese Fund only served to swell the pockets of corrupt officials.

Delaying any longer gives Maduro the upper hand.

Venezuelans around the world joined their compatriots in keeping up the pressure on dictator Nicolás Maduro.

The fraud by the Maduro regime is clear and the will of the people must be respected, opposition leaders said.

“The resolve of the Venezuelan people to reclaim their democracy is unyielding.”

The arrests come as more countries refuse to recognise the disputed presidential election results.

The solution to the Venezuelan crisis is to dismiss the narratives spread by the Sao Paulo Forum and to recognise Edmundo González as president-elect.
