The Deputy Secretary of Institutional Affairs of the PP, Esteban González Pons, has called it a “shame” that the Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González Urrutia signed a document under “coercion” at the residence of the Spanish ambassador in Caracas. “What criminal racket is the Sánchez Government involved in?”
González Urrutia said this Wednesday that he signed a document, before leaving Venezuela, presented by representatives of the Government of Nicolás Maduro under the threat that if he did not do so he would have to “deal with the consequences”, a “coercion” that in his opinion nullifies the text.
«Delcy Rodriguez coerced, blackmailed and pressured the elected president of Venezuela at the residence of the Spanish ambassador?! What a shame. We want the truth,” González Pons claimed in a message on the social network X.
And he added: «What criminal racket is the Sánchez Government involved in? Torture at the embassy? “It was not humanity, but complicity.”
The PP spokesperson in the Senate, Alicia García, has also reacted. “That Jorge Rodríguez and Delcy Rodríguez appeared at the Spanish Embassy to coerce the legitimate president is a blatant act of submission to Chavismo.”
«Only one is missing: Rodríguez Zapatero. The Government of Spain cannot be in cahoots with Chavismo,” he added.
In a video broadcast through his social networks, González Urrutia, exiled since September 8 in Spain where he is seeking political asylum, thus responded to the presentation by the president of the National Assembly of Venezuela, Jorge Rodríguez, of a “letter signed” in which the opponent says he abides by the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice of his country to validate the controversial victory of Nicolás Maduro in the July 28 elections.
The opponent explains that, while he was sheltered in the residence of the Spanish ambassador in Caracas, he was presented with a document that he had to sign to obtain safe conduct that would allow him to leave Venezuela towards exile.
In his message, he recounts the moment he signed the document, “very tense hours of coercion, blackmail and pressure” carried out by the president of the Venezuelan National Assembly himself and the country’s vice president, Delcy Rodríguez.
