- Venezuela. The EU sanctions eight Chavista leaders and three "traitorous" opponents
- Venezuela: José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero ignores Juan Guaidó's letter and continues his work in favor of Nicolás Maduro
Diplomatic war in style between the European Union (EU) and Chavismo. The expulsion of the European representative in Caracas yesterday caused the urgent reaction of Josep Borrell, who called for consultations with the ambassador of Nicolás Maduro in Brussels to take the "usual necessary measures of reciprocity . " Everything indicates that Claudia Salerno will also be expelled to Venezuela when the pandemic allows it.
"Only a negotiated solution between Venezuelans will allow the country to emerge from its deep crisis," added Borrell, knowing full well that the solutions of the revolution are almost always punched. In the background of the new diplomatic rifirrafe is the Bolivarian plan to carry out rigged elections tailored to the ruling party that the EU has never bought. A shot against his own foot, since 40% of the humanitarian aid that reaches the country in the midst of its acute social, health and economic crisis comes from Europe.
In the barrage of threats and insults launched by Maduro in his message to the country, Jesús Silva , the Spanish ambassador in Caracas, suffered his own chapter , whom he accused of being "an accomplice to the criminal Leopoldo López". In the picturesque script proposed by the "son of Chávez," the Spanish diplomat also reportedly participated in the May landing on the Macuto coast "from the Spanish Embassy in Caracas to assassinate me."
"Wait for news in the next few hours," said Maduro, who, if he made his threats concrete, would enroll Silva in the Guinness Book of Records: diplomats declared persona non grata and expelled in 2018 after the first round of European sanctions, he was readmitted months later after the efforts of the Miraflores Palace itself. Back then it was the radical Diosdado Cabello, number two of the Bolivarian regime, who demanded Maduro Silva's head.
The main question is whether the "president people" will act against the coalition government in which Podemos, his former ally, appears. Currently it is Izquierda Unida that maintains a thick umbilical cord with Caracas.
The European sanctions against eight Chavista officials and three deputies "bought" by boliburgueses millionaires provoked the furious reaction of Maduro, who did not keep any reproach: colonialists, interventionists, arrogant, supremacists, racists, grotesque, bobolongos ... "If they ( EU) could send their warships, send a million soldiers to take Venezuela and avoid the elections, they would, but they cannot because their own peoples would prevent it, "Maduro predicted.
The revolutionary leader boasted even about lending a plane to the European representative, Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa , to leave the oil country in 72 hours despite the closure of the borders.
The president in charge, Juan Guaidó, showed his support for Brilhante after the "new outburst of arrogance from an irresponsible dictatorship. We ratify our ties with the EU and with all the countries that support the Venezuelan struggle ." In his nationalist harangue, Maduro assured that the opposition leader is a fugitive from revolutionary justice.
Brussels sanctioned the 11 promadurista leaders after several months of internal discussion between the 27 countries. All of them finally decided to prohibit trips to the Union and the freezing of funds and assets to the three heavyweights of the ruling party, two prosecutors , a military man, two delegates of the Constituent Assembly and the deputies linked to Maduro's figurehead, Alex Saab, whose process Extradition to the United States has begun in Cape Verde.
Among the three chavistas of weight penalized by Brussels is the comptroller Elvis Amoroso, very close personally and politically to the presidential couple. Also noteworthy is the magistrate of the Supreme Court of Justice, Juan José Mendoza, key in the judicial steamroller against Parliament and opposition mounted by Chavismo.
The presence of Vice President Delcy Rodríguez in the second round of sanctions was the origin of the famous Delcygate, since Maduro's right-hand man cannot step on European soil either.
The open war by Maduro against Europe further deepens the international isolation of Venezuela, aimed at being content with its allies Russia, Cuba and China and the unconditional support of political leaders, such as the former head of the Spanish government José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero or the former president. from Ecuador Correa .
