Almost a month ago, five political prisoners released by Nicol\u00e1s Maduro's dictatorship arrived in Madrid. None of them spoke to the media.<\/p>\n
As we already saw here, those released political prisoners were taken off their plane via the airport tarmac<\/a>, instead of going through the exit where journalists were waiting for them. The government of Pedro S\u00e1nchez prevented these prisoners from speaking to the media about the hell they experienced in Venezuela.<\/strong> It was a despicable maneuver by a socialist government that has common and very dark interests with the Venezuelan socialist dictatorship<\/a>, a dictatorship that S\u00e1nchez's party, the PSOE, and its far-left partners protected in December 2024 by voting against asking Maduro to stop the repression in Venezuela<\/a>.<\/p>\n That same day, another former political prisoner, the Venezuelan Sergio Contreras<\/strong>, explained that these released prisoners could not speak because \"they have restrictions.\"<\/a> Many of us watched in astonishment a situation we had never seen before in Spain: Spanish citizens prohibited from speaking in their own country about the torture they suffered in Venezuela<\/strong>, all with the complicity of the S\u00e1nchez government, which is particularly interested in keeping the brutality of the leftist regime in Caracas hidden to avoid embarrassing the Spanish left<\/strong> for its complicit role with that dictatorship.<\/p>\n Last night, Sergio Contreras appeared on Iker Jim\u00e9nez's program \"Horizonte\" on the Cuatro channel<\/a>. This Venezuelan journalist, currently in exile in Spain, described the horrific torture he himself suffered at El Helicoide<\/strong>, the large detention and torture center of the Venezuelan socialist dictatorship in Caracas. For the first time, many Spaniards heard what our government tried to hide a few weeks ago.<\/strong> We must thank Iker Jim\u00e9nez for giving us the opportunity to bring these events to light.<\/p>\n Contreras declared that the Spanish left \"has had an absolutely negative and absolutely condemnable influence\"<\/em> in Venezuela<\/a>, speaking, for example, about the role of two of the founders of Podemos, the communists Pablo Iglesias Turri\u00f3n and Juan Carlos Monedero, in the policies that led to the ruin of many Venezuelans<\/strong>. Let us also remember that a year ago Monedero went to El Helocide to give a talk on human rights to the torturers of the regime he supports<\/a> (he is a personal friend of Maduro), a shadowy place linked to torture, sexual violence, extrajudicial executions<\/strong>, forced disappearances and illegal detentions.<\/p>\n Sergio Contreras: "La izquierda pol\u00edtica espa\u00f1ola ha tenido una influencia absolutamente negativa y condenable" #Horizonte<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/24BTuqm7KZ<\/a><\/p>\n — Iker Jim\u00e9nez (@navedelmisterio) February 2, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
