• Visit to Spain. Almeida will deliver the Golden Key of Madrid to Guaidó on Saturday, which will then meet with Díaz Ayuso
  • Davos.Pedro Sánchez will not receive Juan Guaidó and he replies: "If we do not agree, we will receive him in Miraflores very soon"

The president in charge of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó, has already been received by five heads of Government of the European Union, including Angela Merkel, and made an appointment on Friday afternoon with the president of France, Emmanuel Macron.

Guaidó arrived in Davos on Wednesday night just hours after he left the Alpine city, the president of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, and, since his arrival, the meetings with presidents rained. The Davos Forum turned to the Venezuelan leader who reserved a conference for him in the plenary session, normally reserved for heads of State or Government, and the most important attendees wanted to meet and pose with the Venezuelan. This ties the backing of Merkel and Macron after a difficult year and is also being entertained by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Austrian Sebastian Kurtz and Greek Kyriakos Mitsotakis. They all follow the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and have considered that European support should be visualized at the highest level and not limited to that of Brussels through Josep Borrell.

Americans Ivanka Trump and Wilbur Ross, former Secretary of State John Kerry, Tony Blair and other personalities attending the Davos Forum also expressed support for Guaidó in front of Nicolás Maduro.

To all of them he transferred the Venezuelan leader who will resist. "Let them know that we are going to stand firm, despite the bullets," he said, recalling that international pressure is essential for free elections in Venezuela.

Davos's clothing contrasts with Pedro Sánchez's attitude that Guaidó ended up relativizing at a press conference outside the World Economic Forum. He said that, in any case, he will soon see the president of the Spanish Government. "We will meet at some other time with President Pedro Sánchez. If we do not agree, we will receive him in Miraflores [the headquarters of the Presidency of the Republic of Venezuela] very soon," he replied when asked at a press conference in Davos for Sánchez's unwillingness to receive it. Guaidó downplayed by listing leaders who do receive it by being satisfied with this "international pressure agenda."

Guaidó declined to assess the statements made by the Vice President of the Government, Pablo Iglesias, about him: "It is an opinion of a politician . " Yes he confirmed his presence in Madrid tomorrow Saturday, but he framed it more in seeing what he calls "the Venezuelan diaspora in Spain" than in his appointment with the Foreign Minister, Arancha González Laya.

Guaidó's statements in the afternoon at Davos had a different tone from the morning of the same Thursday when he still insisted on seeing Sanchez. "With Spain we have the best relations. It is an agenda problem. We will insist on trying to get an agenda," he said before a group of special international media envoys, including EL MUNDO before the question of whether Sánchez would receive him.

However, he asked to resolve Moncloa's agenda as soon as possible. "Every day for me outside of Venezuela is a risk," he said , stressing that Maduro's regime is not called "Government," because "it is simply a dictatorship."

Guaido said that the former president of the Spanish Government "Zapatero does not play any recognized role for me" and asked for an international tightening regarding Venezuela. "The sanctions are controversial, but they are necessary. The worst sanction for Venezuela is the dictatorship." He emphasized cutting international financing with gold from Venezuela that "is the gold of blood" and accentuate "the diplomatic siege."

He also ruled out new negotiations with Maduro. "We already tried it in 2017 and 2019 and we were mocked», he lamented at a press conference.
