Ciudadanos has announced that it will ask the Popular Party for a commission of inquiry in Congress so that the Government can explain the meeting of the Minister of Transportation, José Luis Ábalos, and the Vice President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez.

"We ask for the urgent appearance of Ábalos and we will extend it to the PP to jointly present the will to develop an investigation commission in Congress," said the spokeswoman for the Management Committee of Cs, Melisa Rodríguez , in statements to the media after the meeting of the Orange Council General Council.

At this point, Rodríguez has asked the Government to say "how is it possible that the plane of the vice president of a narco-dictatorship has landed on Spanish soil" and that it explains "how is it possible" that Ábalos "has gone to meet" with the 'number two 'by Nicolás Maduro "disregarding any type of EU strategy".

For the spokeswoman of Cs, it is "absolutely scandalous" what has happened in the last 24 hours, with the Minister of Transportation giving "up to four versions" and with a tone with the press "quite despotic and arrogant." "They are catching him in contradictions systematically. It is not a reflection of what a good Government of Spain should be," he criticized.

He also stressed that a country like Spain "can not afford" to begin to "cool down" between Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska and Ábalos. "That is not serious," he said.

In his opinion, the Government of Spain and Pedro Sánchez, "fully empowered by Iglesias", are "on the side of a narco-dictatorship that repeatedly violates the political and parliamentary rights of the deputies of the National Assembly ."

Along the same lines, Rodríguez has described as "shame" and "unfavorable" that Sánchez does not receive the president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Juan Guaidó. "He does send a minister to meet with the vice president of a narco-dictatorship. I think it's a shame and disrespectful to all Venezuelan citizens," he lamented.

"The influence of Iglesias begins to show that the president of Spain does not meet with Guaidó. It is an extravagance and it gives me deep shame what he is doing," the spokeswoman for the orange formation concluded.

"He lied six times"

At the same time, the president of the PP, Pablo Casado, has asked the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, the "immediate cessation" of Ábalos "for lying six times" about his meeting in Barajas.

"Ábalos has been lying to the Spaniards for two days. Today we have known the sixth lie and we still do not know what happened in Barajas," Casado said in statements to the media after meeting with the president in charge of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó.

The leader of the PP has criticized Ábalos for saying that nobody is going to throw him out, and has affirmed that his controversial encounter with the number two of Nicolás Madudo already affects four ministers: Pablo Iglesias, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, Arancha González Laya and Ábalos himself.

"If Sanchez does not immediately cease Ábalos, we will take this matter to the Parliament and also to the European level," said Casado, who has lamented that the president of the Government has not received Guaidó as the presidents of France, Germany or States have done.
