The opposition leader, Pablo Casado, believes that the dictatorship of Venezuela has "seized by the flap" to the ministers of Podemos because of the alleged illegal financing of the "purple" formation by the Caracas Executive.

Casado has ruled in a dialogue organized by the Atlantic Institute of Government that Podemos "owes its foundation, its financing and its existence" to the "dictatorial regime of Maduro". And in part, that can be demonstrated following the links that the 'purple' party has with companies very close to the Government of Venezuela. An economic link that could be behind the hiring of societies related to Chavism by Podemos, as EL MUNDO has revealed today.

Casado considers that this is the reason that justifies "the parabienes" that the Maduro regime is receiving from the Government of Pedro Sánchez and that the chief executive has refused to receive the president in charge of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó.

The PP, as Casado explained, will take this alleged illegal funding to the commission of inquiry that wants to open in Congress to clarify the interview of José Luis Ábalos with the vice president of Nicolás Maduro in Barajas.

Casado has firmly assured that "part of the PSOE depends on a dictatorial regime", on "a narco-dictatorship," he said, something that "had never happened with a government party in Spain." The 'popular' leader has related these facts, as well as the murky interview of José Luis Ábalos and Delcy Rodríguez, with the relationship that José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero maintains with the Chavista regime.

The 'popular' leader wanted to send a message of hope to Venezuelans: "They are not alone", apart from the "embarrassment we experienced last week", in reference to Sánchez's decision not to receive Guaidó and for the meeting of Ábalos and the Chavista leader.

Casado has made these statements at the Francisco de Vitoria University in Madrid and accompanied by José María Aznar who has assured that what happened with the move to Guaidó "fills him with shame." For this reason, he has publicly thanked Casado and the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, for receiving the Venezuelan leader because "with their actions they have somehow saved the national position."

Aznar has described as "incredible" that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has decided to suppress the Secretary of State for Latin America and replace it with a general direction: "That is more than nonsense, it is an extraordinary mistake and an expression of a very big weakness" , said the former president.
