Records from the Spanish Culture Ministry show that the non-profit foundation received at least €3.7 million from the Hugo Chávez administration.
Another one of the documents in the Assembly’s power states that CEPS “maintains close ties” with Podemos.
The government of Venezuela hired CEPS to perform advisory, training and technical work in various agencies, according to the Assembly’s documents.
The Venezuelan National Assembly has opened an official investigation into alleged financial ties between the Spanish anti-austerity party Podemos and the administration of the late Hugo Chávez, according to documents to which EL PAÍS has had access.
Chávez himself died in March 2013, and was succeeded in the post by his vice-president, Nicolás Maduro.
