Marco Rubio believes that the situation of Venezuela can “learn” a lot from the experience lived in Spain con the Transition after the death of Francisco Franco. This has been stated by the US Secretary of State, who has held a hearing in the Senate to explain the Trump Administration’s policy in Venezuela since the capture of Nicolás Maduro.
For Rubio, who serves as Foreign Minister and de facto governor of Venezuela, the situation in the Caribbean country has “precedents.” “I can mention several examples, such as Spain or Paraguay, places where there was a transition from an autocratic regime to a democracy and it took time“.
That time, Marco Rubio has defended, is something incalculable at this point, alleging that the desire of the United States is that in Venezuela there are “free and democratic” elections but without being able to set “an exact deadline”.
