“I have seen a very difficult humanitarian situation in Venezuela,” said Albert Rivera.
On Wednesday, Rivera accused Spain’s other emerging party, the leftist Podemos, of turning a blind eye on the plight of the Venezuelan people because of its old ties with the Venezuelan regime.
In March 2015, the European Parliament voted on a resolution asking for the release of Venezuelan dissidents: all parties voted in favor save for the European Left, which includes Podemos.
Now, the anti-austerity party is trying to keep the issue out of the Spanish electoral campaign.
The head of Spain’s emerging Ciudadanos party returned to Madrid on Thursday after a three-day visit to Venezuela to show support for the opposition there.
