Despite the reluctance of the European Union to respect the results of the elections held on July 28 in Venezuela, the Chancellor of the Kingdom of Spain, José Manuel Albares, recognized this Monday that President Nicolás Maduro is the international representative of the nation. .
The diplomat declared in Madrid that “there is a president who is currently the one who will go to the United Nations and who represents Venezuela internationally. We cannot ignore that and, therefore, what we have to do is encourage and promote, as we have done on other occasions in recent years, a dialogue between Venezuelans.”
Albares pointed out that “what Spain is working for and what the European Union is working for is to achieve a dialogue that gives way to a genuinely Venezuelan political solution among Venezuelans and that, of course, is peaceful.”
Last September, after the violent actions promoted by the Venezuelan extreme right, Spain granted asylum to the defeated former opposition candidate and now a fugitive from justice Edmundo González Urrutia.
