- The Venezuelan political leader has met with several Spanish politicians, including Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
The president of the conservative Spanish Popular Party (PP), Alberto Núñez Feijóo, reiterated on September 17 that he is fully committed “politically and morally” to the Venezuelan people, after meeting in the Congress of Deputies with Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González.
Through his social media account X, Núñez Feijóo referred to Edmundo González as “the president-elect of Venezuela” when sharing some photographs posing with the political leader in the hemicycle of the Chamber of Deputies of Spain.
The meeting took place after Congress on September 11 backed a PP initiative to urge the Spanish government, headed by socialist Pedro Sánchez, to recognize Edmundo González as the legitimate president of Venezuela.
Gonzalez met with Sanchez, at the Moncloa Palace (seat of government) and with former Spanish presidents Felipe González, Mariano Rajoy and José María Aznar, on the occasion of their arrival in the European country after request political asylum on September 7th.
Both Núñez Feijóo and the former presidents of the Spanish government were in favour of recognising González as the elected president of Venezuela, following the elections of 28 July.
However, Sánchez’s government is focusing on the request that the electoral records be made public in order to be able to recognise a winner of the elections, a position defended by the European Union.

The meeting took place a day after the Spanish Congress declared its recognition of González as president-elect.
The text was based on the position and official statements of international organizations such as the Carter Centerthe United Nations (UN) mission and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security, Joseph Borrell.
They also called for an end to the repression of protests in Venezuela, the release of political prisoners and for the personal safety of opposition leader María Corina Machado and González himself.

Diplomatic relations between Spain and Venezuela
Diplomatic relations between Spain and Venezuela are going through a moment of tension after Maduro has Spanish ambassador summoned in Caracas and called his representative in Madrid for consultations, after the Spanish Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, described the Venezuelan government as a dictatorship.
In addition, on September 14, Maduro’s government announced the arrest of two Spanish citizens for their alleged involvement in an alleged operation to carry out “terrorist” acts, including “assassinating Nicolás Maduro.”
In response, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied that it is involved in a “political destabilization operation” in Venezuela and has “absolutely rejected any insinuation” in this regard.
Following the elections of 28 July, the Spanish government has not recognised the victory attributed to Nicolás Maduro and is calling on the authorities to publish the electoral records. However, it has not recognised the victory claimed by the opposition, as requested by Congress.
