United We Can, Esquerra Republicana de Catalonia and the Basque party EH Bildu, demanding respect election results in Venezuela and expressed their full support for managing mediation of former Spanish President Zapatero

(Special / Madrid) Given the continued attack by the Spanish right against Venezuela in the Spanish Congress, on Tuesday, did not wait the reaction of members of leftist parties, who exigieronrespeto the sovereignty of the Bolivarian people, the legitimate decision It will take in the elections next May 20 and accused the party Citizens to promote conditions to favor a coup against Venezuelan democracy.

The issue of Venezuela returned to the Spanish parliament, this time by an initiative of the rightist party Citizens ask the Popular Party government to lead the pressure on the European Union to which it applies more illegitimate unilateral actions against the Venezuelan people and not known in advance results of the coming elections.

The first to respond to this motion was the Basque deputy Oskar Matute, Euskal Herria Bildu party, who considered the citizens' initiative as interference in the political life of Venezuela "that instead of contributing to a democratic dialogue seeks to hinder it."

He charged that the policies implemented by the Bolivarian government to move forward and solve the economic problems of the whole society, "are being hampered very clearly" and warned that Spain "to Venezuela is used as a smokescreen to cover up scandals corruption and accusations of drug trafficking to finance parties in this state. "

Then intervened Joan Tarda, Catalan deputy party Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya who accused Citizens of "torpedoing Venezuelan democracy, contributing to the worsening conditions of Venezuelans" to request further sanctions against this nation.

"Cynically they call to ignore the elections of May 20, when a demanding year and clamored ago. Urge more blocking, more violence to create the conditions for a coup, for which aim to bury the culture of dialogue ".

For his part diputadoPablo Bustinduy spokesman Unidos Podemos Parliamentary Group in the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Congress, called the motion input by citizens as "an affront to the most basic principles of international relations".

About the application to ignore the upcoming Venezuelan elections, Bustinduy said to be left in the hands of technicians international observation denouncing any irregularities if any. "And if they conclude that the elections were not clean, can be reported and up not recognized. Something is happening in Hungary, right here in the European Union where Viktor Orbán, xenophobic and anti-Semitic leader, known for persecuting journalists, refugees and opponents, just bulldoze in an election amid allegations of serious irregularities, but have heard a word until the Citizens date and of course the Popular Party parliamentary group shares with Mr. Orbán in Brussels. "

He recalled that the last 24 elections in Venezuela have had international support, "and even the Spanish parliament itself sent a delegation in 2013 that endorsed the outcome in a declaration signed by the PP, the PSOE, among others. And President Rodriguez Zapatero was as an international observer in the elections of 2015 when he won the opposition.. "

"Why citizens do not want these elections are recognized months before they happen ?, why in the negotiation process between the government and the opposition in Santo Domingo Venezuelan opposition ended up divided, and some decided at the last minute not sign the agreement and boycott the elections and another part itself signed and presented against Maduro? "he asked.

"Citizens has decided to support the hardest fraction of the Venezuelan opposition and today asked the government and the Congress to do the same. Citizens never supported the dialogue process and a year ago at a meeting of control in this Congress, asked the government to withdraw its support for the mediation of Zapatero. And they never mentioned the words dialogue, mediation or agreement. "

"No democratic elections or dialogue without proposing nothing but exacerbate the economic strangulation the Venezuelan people, which guarantees ultimately is that a coup in Venezuela, and openly call for the sectors of the Venezuelan opposition that you support is given, as demanded by the most extremist government Trump hawks, as he tried to do military who hijacked a helicopter and bombing the Supreme Court. I have not found a single statement of Citizens condemned these acts. "

"Why ask for more sanctions to stifle further the Venezuelan people, but do not ask for sanctions against the government of Israel, that exemplary democracy that has cold-bloodedly murdered 30 people in the last ten days, including a journalist, who imprisons children without trial and has been built according to the United Nations an apartheid regime. "

He reminded citizens and especially the PP that the positions that defend against Venezuela are not new. "They are the same who supported the coup in Venezuela in 2002 and after the coup in Honduras and Paraguay are the same that support today coup continued in Brazil without that you have said anything about it, "he said after expressing overwhelming support for President Lula Da Silva." we say here today Lula, that their struggle is the struggle of any democrat in the world and that democracy in Brazil will open the way because it's over time coups in Latin America. "

Finally he expressed pride and gratitude of the coalition of United We Can "for the mediation effort of President Rodriguez Zapatero and that any solution to the crisis in Venezuela must be peaceful and will for dialogue, agreement and democracy. It is a pity that Mr. Trump, Mr. Aznar and Mr. Rivera, do not think the same. Hopefully Spain's foreign policy never fall into their hands.
