Neither president in charge nor leader of the opposition. In the semantics of the new Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha González Laya, the Venezuelan Juan Guaidó embodies the two. In a meeting with journalists in the framework of the Munich Security Conference, the minister said that what interests Spain about Venezuela is that there be free elections and that "everyone who is in it, even in the Government , even if the president in charge of Guaidó in the opposition will count on our support. "

The question of the range was drawn, what González Laya did was to confirm the turn that Spanish policy has taken with the entry of Podemos in the Executive, stating that "the position of Spain is perhaps a little different from that of other countries from the EU or other partners in Latin America or the northern hemisphere, the US or Canada. " Unlike Pedro Sánchez, Guaido has been received on his recent European tour by British premier Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron. Recently he also met with President Donald Trump at the White House.

Despite Spain's abandonment of the community consensus, González Laya said that the Spanish position has always been clear and has been expressed consistently.

"We support the fact that there is a solution built in Venezuela by Venezuelan actors, among all Venezuelans and Venezuelans," he said. Spain's role is to support "sometimes visibly, sometimes in a more invisible way, sometimes with a smile, sometimes the same with a frown" that there is a solution within Venezuela.

"That is our strategic objective for a very simple reason, we are linked with Venezuela, with the citizens of Venezuela. There are more than 300,000 Venezuelans in Spain, more than 300,000 Spaniards in Venezuela, " he said.

Spain, according to González Laya, will support everyone who launches an initiative for an agreement under the parameters of respect for human rights and democracy, which is currently not the case. " Spain must accompany this process and not exacerbate the differences that lead to a confinement of this conflict, because we have already seen in the world what happens when conflicts are confiscated."

González Laya said he was aware that the issue of Venezuela has entered into the "domestic political debate", but assured that international partners perceive it differently, but without saying in what way.
