Despite the reluctance of the European Union (EU) to respect the results of the elections of July 28 in Venezuela, Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, José Manuel Albares, acknowledged this Monday that President Nicolás Maduro is the international representative of the South American nation.

“There is a president who is currently going to the United Nations and who represents Venezuela internationally. We cannot ignore this and therefore what we have to do is to promote and promote, as we have done on other occasions in recent years, a dialogue between Venezuelans,” Europa Press quoted the head of Spanish diplomacy.

Albares pointed out that “what Spain is working for and what the European Union is working for is to achieve a dialogue that will give way to a genuinely Venezuelan political solution among Venezuelans and that, of course, is peaceful.”

Last September, after the violent actions promoted by the Venezuelan extreme right, Spain granted asylum to the defeated former opposition candidate and now a fugitive from justice Edmundo González Urrutia, and so far his Government has refrained from showing a firm position on the electoral process and the triumph of President Maduro for the constitutional period 2025-2031.
