• Venezuela. The EU sanctions eight Chavista leaders and three "traitorous" opponents

Nicolás Maduro has reacted with fury after learning about today's sanctions by the European Union (EU) against eight Chavista leaders and three collaborationist deputies. "I have decided to give 72 hours to the EU ambassador in Caracas (Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa) to leave our country," said the "son of Chávez" while threatening Jesús Silva, the Spanish ambassador, whom he accuses of be involved in Operation Gideon.

"Venezuela reserves diplomatic actions on the ambassador of Spain for his participation in the armed incursion of Macuto and complicity with criminal acts reported in the Wall Street Journal of Leopoldo Lopez. Expect news in the coming hours , " he threatened the Bolivarian leader . Maduro refers to the unsuccessful landing of Operation Gideon, carried out by rebel soldiers and two US mercenaries in early May that, in his words, would aim to assassinate both him and the military high command.

The storm in Caracas was reckoned after the last chavista attacks against the democratic parties, as the EU did not "buy" the revolutionary story, which aims to clear the electoral path for Bolivarians: with an electoral arbitrator kidnapped by power, with the opposition parties intervened, their leaders disabled and the rules of the game adapted to revolutionary needs.

"Today a group of EU officials met to analyze the situation in Venezuela, in the greatest colonial, interventionist, supremacist tradition, because these EU officials and the EU itself continue to have that arrogant supremacist attitude: from there determine who behaves well, who behaves badly, "said the president. The reality is that Brussels has sanctioned the 11 promadurista leaders after several months of internal discussion between the 27 countries, finally deciding to ban travel to the Union and the freezing of funds and assets for three heavyweights, two prosecutors, two military, two delegates of the Constituent Assembly and deputies linked to Maduro's figurehead, Alex Saab.

"We are not afraid of anyone in this world. So the EU today came up with a resolution where the supreme EU sanctions those Venezuelans who, as part of state institutions, defend the Constitution: they sanction the Board of Directors of the opposition AN because that board is has refused to carry out EU orders in Caracas. They sanction a group of generals, they sanction a group of constituents. And what is the reason? What power do they abrogate? Who are they to sanction? Who are they? to try to prevail? ", insisted the" president people ".
