The PP and Citizens have accused the United Nations on Thursday We can prevent the Congress of Deputies from passing an institutional declaration in support of the Venezuelan National Assembly chaired by Juan Guaidó and facing the Government of Nicolás Maduro.

Citizens, whose deputies Inés Arrimadas and Melisa Rodríguez met on Wednesday with the Guaidó ambassador in Madrid, already announced that he was going to promote this institutional declaration to be approved by the Plenary of Congress taking advantage of the celebration of the appearance of Vice President Carmen Calvo .

From the PP they also sought the approval of this institutional declaration, as their spokesman, Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, had promised it to Ambassador Antonio Ecarri at their meeting on August 16.

The PSOE supported the text, says Cs

The Orange Party has ensured that, before the plenary session began, it had even sought the support of the PSOE for a text that includes "the human rights violations denounced by the United Nations by the Nicolás Maduro regime."

"The Congress of Deputies expresses its maximum solidarity with the National Assembly of Venezuela in the face of intimidation, abuse of power and violations of their rights as parliamentarians who are suffering from the legislators of our homologous chamber in the country, at the hands of the Nicolás Maduro regime ", says the text provided by Cs that, according to the Orange Party, had been accepted by the PSOE.

Another passage states that Congress deputies cannot "look the other way," the Venezuelan government is accused of "abuse of power" and is urged to "end the harassment of members of the National Assembly of Venezuela and restore his parliamentary immunity. "

However, institutional declarations require the unanimity of all parliamentary groups and, according to PP and Cs, United We have not wanted to give their approval, which has prevented their approval and reading.

Party use of Venezuela

The deputy spokeswoman for Podemos, Ione Belarra, has justified his position by blaming electoralism for the center-right parties. "The one who is least interested in the situation in Venezuela is the one who systematically uses it for internal politics and in that PP and Citizens have a lot of experience," he said.

In any case, the PP has announced that it will continue supporting the Venezuelan opposition and that it will send a representation to the First World Parliamentary Meeting for Democracy in Venezuela to which it has been invited, an appointment organized by Juan Guaidó that will take place on September 26 in Caracas.
