A predictable reaction, given their ties to that dictatorship and <strong>the things that could come to light if that communist regime collapses<\/strong>. Along these lines, in recent hours, messages have proliferated in which <strong>the Spanish extreme left has responded to the US intervention to capture Maduro with the same harshness it did not show toward the Russian invasion of Ukraine<\/strong>, the Hamas terrorist attack against Israel, or the jihadist massacres against Christians in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary General of the communist party Podemos, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ionebelarra\/status\/2007364585515561205\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ione Belarra<\/a>, said in a message posted at 9:13 CET: <em>\"Spain is a country of peace. <strong>Let's break relations with the US and leave NATO before it's too late<\/strong>.\"<\/em> From the same far-left party, at 11:57 CET, MEP <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IreneMontero\/status\/2007405970176258285\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Irene Montero<\/a> demanded that the European Commission \"<em><strong>act in accordance with international law against the US<\/strong> in the face of its illegal military aggression against Venezuela and to guarantee the release of its President\"<\/em>, referring to the dictator Nicol\u00e1s Maduro. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IreneMontero\/status\/2007361328667910190\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Montero has also stated<\/a> <strong>that <em>\"the US is a danger\"<\/em> and that <em>\"the Government must break all alliances with the US, starting with NATO.\"<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>the communist Pablo Iglesias Turri\u00f3n<\/strong>, founder of Podemos and partner of Irene Montero, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PabloIglesias\/status\/2007368989618667694\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has stated<\/a>: <em>\"They are bombing Venezuela to steal its oil and impose a puppet government. <strong>Remaining in NATO is collaboration with a criminal state<\/strong>.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Along the same lines, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MonederoJC\/status\/2007372400619311587\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">another of the founders of Podemos, the communist Juan Carlos Monedero, has harshly criticized the US intervention<\/a>, stating: <em>\"<strong>Launching bombs and missiles on a capital city is the work of murderers.<\/strong>\"<\/em> These are words that this man has never written about the Russian attacks against Ukraine.

The reaction of these far-left organizations was highly predictable. <strong>These parties either failed to condemn or remained lukewarm in their stance regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine<\/strong>, opposed the delivery of Western military aid to the Ukrainian people, and blamed NATO and the United States for this Russian aggression. <strong>All the harshness they lacked then is now on display in support of a dictator who has been violating human rights<\/strong> and who, until now, remained in power illegally after losing the last presidential elections, even refusing to publish the results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The far left is not supporting Venezuela: it is supporting a usurper who has plunged the Venezuelan people into oppression<\/strong>, turning their daily lives into a living hell and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/11\/16\/what-should-the-world-do-if-a-gang-of-drug-traffickers-takes-over-a-country\/\">using drug trafficking as one of his main sources of income<\/a>, a criminal activity with which he has caused terrible harm to the population of the United States. <strong>Once again, the far left shows us that no matter what happens, they are always on the side of communist dictators<\/strong>, regardless of the suffering they are inflicting on their people.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: Europa Press.
