What does the Spanish left owe to the Chavista regime ? A succession of events leads one to think that the Government of Sánchez and Iglesias has a pertinacious umbilical cord that must join Maduro's dictatorship; otherwise the shameless nonsense that Moncloa is starring in relation to Venezuela is not explained. On the one hand, Pedro Sánchez's indecent decision to deny today to the president in charge Juan Guaidó , who arrives in Madrid after a tour in which he has been received by several presidents, such as the president of France or the chancellors of Austria and Germany. And on the other, the trapison of Ábalos , who cannot continue one more day as a minister, due to the seriousness of his opaque encounter with Maduro's number two - one of the figures of the regime sanctioned by the European Union for violation of rights humans - as if he had become entangled in a maze of lies that disqualify him from exercising public office.

After denying it, Ábalos had to admit yesterday that at the dawn of last Monday he met "fortuitously" with Chavez Vice President Delcy Rodríguez on the plane that brought her to Madrid from Caracas. The minister was changing the versions on the fly, after evidencing his deception. Unable to explain the episode, he said he went, at such untimely hours, to greet the Venezuelan Tourism Minister, his old friend, when a meeting was planned with him hours later. Ábalos denied his latest version until the Police , which argues that the interview was not "casual", but that the minister operated to prevent Rodriguez from entering Spain. The number two of the Bolivarian Government is prohibited from stepping on community land. And Spain is obliged to comply with EU sanctions . If it were confirmed that Rodriguez was not the 14 hours it took to take off his plane to Istanbul inside the aircraft, but instead stepped on national territory, the Executive could have committed a serious negligence that borders the illegality by not ordering the police forces the retention of the Chavista Vice President at least to clarify her intentions. The irresponsibility of Ábalos, moved as one sees for some unconfessable end, puts the Nation's Government on the pillory and calls into question the external action of the Twenty-seven.

Faced with such a sensitive case, a government cornered and unable to give credible explanations has been discovered . Yesterday Sánchez fell silent and avoided any statement to the media during his visit to Fitur, starring in an attempt of escapism as embarrassing as desperate . He will also give up responsibilities today by refusing to meet Guaidó, despite the fact that he is the only legitimate president of Venezuela, as Spain recognized last year. An unworthy attitude, as Felipe González affected him yesterday, although it was pulled by Zapatero , who maintains a privileged relationship with Chavismo and still does not report on the plot by which his ambassador in Caracas received bites from Chavez of up to 35 million .

In Podemos you can see consistency in his weakness for the dictatorship of Maduro, because he owes him well-accredited favors. But that the president, and with him the PSOE, thus drag themselves before the Bolivarian tyranny supposes a mockery of the Spaniards of impossible digestion and inevitably encourages the suspicion that something very delicate is hidden from us.
