The Venezuelan government summoned the ambassador of the Kingdom of Spain in the country, Ramón Santos Martínez, in response to the “insolent, interventionist and rude” statements made by the Minister of Defense of the Iberian nation, Margarita Robles.
This was reported on Thursday by the Chancellor of the Republic in his Telegram channelwhere he specified that the words spoken by the Spanish minister “point to a deterioration of relations between both countries.”
In this regard, he also called for consultations with the Venezuelan ambassador accredited in Madrid, Gladys Gutiérrez; at the same time, the Spanish diplomat in Caracas must appear this Friday, September 13, at the headquarters of the Ministry of People’s Power for Foreign Relations.
Earlier on Thursday, Margarita Robles discredited the government of President Nicolás Maduro by calling it a “dictatorship,” while showing her bias towards self-exiled opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia.
