Let us remember that S\u00e1nchez is part of the same party, the PSOE, as <strong>Jos\u00e9 Luis Rodr\u00edguez Zapatero, a great defender of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro's dictatorship<\/strong>. In fact, this Sunday the socialist newspaper <a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/america\/2024-09-08\/edmundo-gonzalez-abandona-venezuela-y-pone-rumbo-a-espana-despues-de-recibir-asilo-politico.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">El Pa\u00eds affirms that Zapatero played a key role in this operation<\/a> to get Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez out of Venezuela, and adds:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\"Spain insists that it was Edmundo himself who requested asylum, but other sources familiar with the conversations maintain that <strong>all this has been the result of a negotiation in which even the Rodr\u00edguez brothers, Delcy and Jorge, the political operators closest to Maduro, have participated<\/strong>.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition to this, we must remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/08\/10\/the-list-of-spanish-politicians-all-from-the-extreme-left-who-endorse-nicolas-maduro\/\">S\u00e1nchez's communist allies support that dictatorship<\/a>, approving the electoral fraud committed by Maduro and supporting the international extreme left's pressure campaign in favor of that dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p><big>S\u00e1nchez did not recognize Gonz\u00e1lez's victory and gave the dictator time to defuse the protests<\/big><\/p>\n<p>The attitude of the Spanish government and the PSOE is very revealing in this regard. <strong>The S\u00e1nchez government has not at any time recognized the electoral victory of Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong>, despite the evidence presented by the opposition to the Maduro dictatorship when compiling the minutes of the electoral process. In fact, <strong>the S\u00e1nchez government has acted with a premeditated delay, giving Maduro time<\/strong> so that the protests in Venezuela against the electoral fraud of the dictatorship would die down and cease to be in the focus of attention of the international media.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, <strong>Sanchez guarantees that he will not receive criticism from Edmundo Gonzalez and other opponents of the Maduro dictatorship<\/strong>, by presenting himself as the good man who welcomed the Venezuelan president-elect to Spain. In reality, <strong>Sanchez did Maduro a favor by not recognizing Edmundo Gonzalez as the winner in the Venezuelan elections<\/strong>, thus reducing international pressure against the Maduro dictatorship. It must also be taken into account that <strong>Spain has a special weight in the European Union in everything that concerns Latin America, and Sanchez has used this to defuse pressure on Maduro<\/strong>, with his position of refusing to recognize Edmundo Gonzalez as the winner.<\/p>\n<p><big>Sanchez takes a problem off Maduro's hands<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Finally, <strong>by removing Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez from Venezuela, S\u00e1nchez removes a problem from Maduro's hands<\/strong>, and he does so by pretending to be a humanitarian act and saying that he is doing it at the request of the president-elect, who was previously subjected to a strong wave of coercion by the dictatorship. More than a humanitarian act, <strong>what happened today seems like an operation orchestrated by S\u00e1nchez and Maduro to mutually benefit each other<\/strong>. Both manage to get Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez to leave Venezuela, surely with the intention of defusing the protests in the country.<\/p>\n<p>To cite some more data, we must remember that <strong>in 2018, as soon as he came to power<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2018\/08\/31\/sanchez-no-considera-dictador-a-maduro-y-no-apoya-que-se-le-juzgue-por-sus-crimenes\/\">S\u00e1nchez denied that Venezuela was a dictatorship<\/a> and rejected that Maduro be tried for his crimes. Two years later, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2020\/01\/27\/una-mentira-de-abalos-delata-a-su-gobierno-violo-el-veto-de-la-ue-al-regimen-de-maduro\/\">the S\u00e1nchez government allowed Delcy Rodr\u00edguez to disembark in Spain a series of suitcases without any control<\/a> and violating the sanctions of the European Union to that dictatorship, in what finally ended up being revealed as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldebate.com\/espana\/20240306\/llegada-delcy-barajas-40-maletas-coincide-mediacion-aldama-venezuela-pagase-air-europa-deuda-176-millones_179602.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">another case of political corruption of the socialists in Spain<\/a>. Four years later, <strong>if Maduro is still in power it is, in part, due to the favours done for him by the S\u00e1nchez government<\/strong>, which is now trying to clean up its image in this regard by presenting itself as the Samaritan who welcomed Edmundo Gonz\u00e1lez.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: Efe.
