What are Pedro Sánchez and Venezuelan leader Delcy Rodríguez doing in Bombay?

Pedro Sánchez is on an official trip to India, accompanied by his wife after she was charged with influence peddling.

Some media have spoken of the opportuneness of the official trips that Sánchez has scheduled outside of Spain in the midst of the corruption scandals that affect his party, his government and his family environment, and also after the recent scandal affecting his communist government partners. However, there is one fact that allows us to interpret this trip to India as something worse than an attempt to flee Spain in the midst of a political storm.

That fact is the coincidence of Pedro Sánchez and the Venezuelan leader Delcy Rodríguez in the city of Bombay, who has arrived in that city after participating in the meeting of the BRICS in Kazan, Russia. A coincidence that seems anything but coincidental, given some recent events.

19 days ago, the Central Operative Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard revealed that Sánchez authorized Delcy Rodríguez's illegal visit to Spain in January 2020, violating the sanctions imposed by the European Union against the Venezuelan socialist dictatorship and against several of its leaders, including Rodríguez. This information confirms that Sánchez lied when he said he was unaware of the purpose of Rodríguez's visit to Spain. In case anyone is unaware of this fact, we must remember that Rodríguez's illegal visit is related to the corruption scandals of the Sánchez government.

We must also not forget that in September of this year, Delcy Rodríguez extorted the president-elect of Venezuela, Edmundo González, at the Spanish Embassy in Caracas. The fact that this was done in a Spanish diplomatic headquarters and in the presence of the Spanish ambassador in that country leads to the conclusion that the Sánchez government acted as an accomplice to this extortion.

By now it has become clear that the dark relationship between the Sánchez government and Delcy Rodríguez is not over, especially considering the connection of former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero with the Venezuelan dictatorship, a connection that is also related to the trafficking of gold bullion related to that illegal visit by Delcy Rodríguez to Spain, as revealed by VozPópuli on October 16.

After all we have seen so far, I think it is logical and necessary to ask: Has Sánchez already held or scheduled a meeting with Delcy Rodríguez in Bombay? If so, what is the purpose of this meeting? In a democracy, the government must be held accountable for its actions, and this government has already hidden things and lied to the Spanish people too many times, including about its relationship with the Venezuelan dictatorship.

This relationship between the Spanish socialist government and the Venezuelan socialist dictatorship is scandalous, not only because of the human rights violations in that authoritarian regime, but also because it is a regime that has made drug trafficking its main source of financing, in addition to being an ally of dictatorships openly hostile to Western democracies, such as Russia, Belarus, Iran, and communist China. In Spain we have a government that demonizes the democratic opposition while associating with dictatorships and criminals of all kinds. It is shameful and scandalous.
