The PP now defends that “there are doubts about whether International Law has been violated” in Venezuela
The Deputy Secretary of Institutional Regeneration of the Popular Party, Cuca Gamarra, assured this morning that “there are doubts about whether International Law has been infringed” in Venezuela by the United States. The PP thus moves in a contradiction because, as Alberto Núñez Feijóo did yesterday, Gamarra has indicated that the capture of the Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro is “good news for any democrat” because it means “decapitating a dictator.” But, at the same time, it exposes the “doubts” that the US attack may raise about a violation of international legality. “It is time to reaffirm the commitments that Spain defends and, as it cannot be otherwise, International Law,” said the popular deputy secretary in an interview on Cadena Ser.
The position of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, of maintaining the Venezuelan vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, as interim president of the country undermines the PP’s arguments. Feijóo’s party is against Maduro’s hitherto number two being the transitory figure, as Trump defends.
“We do not support Delcy being the one who takes the reins.” [Rodríguez]”, Gamarra said. “We defend the result of the 2024 polls, there must be an opening of a new time and those who have democratic legitimacy must lead it,” he maintained, in reference to the opposition leaders Edmundo González and María Corina Machado.
For Gamarra, in addition, the Government of Pedro Sánchez “is endorsing the continuity of the regime” of Maduro “through Delcy.” “No one can ignore the strong ties of [Delcy Rodríguez] with the Government, the presence of Delcy [Rodríguez] at the airport is something that all Spaniards know,” he indicated in reference to when the Venezuelan vice president visited Barajas six years ago, a visit prepared by the then Minister of Transport and Secretary of Organization of PSOE, José Luis Ábalos, who had a four-day agenda planned in Madrid. “A person who is sanctioned by the European Union cannot be a transitional figure,” Gamarra insisted.
