The Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, demanded this Wednesday that Venezuela respect Spanish institutions, when asked about the agreement approved by the Venezuelan National Assembly to urge Spain to abolish the monarchy.
“When we always address other countries, and talk about the institutions of other countries, we do so with respect and we demand the same respect for all our institutions from the rest of the international community,” Albares responded in a press conference in Madrid.
The Venezuelan parliament approved this Tuesday a political agreement in which it urges the Government of Spain to abolish the monarchy, considering it an institution linked to corruption and an expression of the extreme right, in response to the decision of the Spanish Congress to recognize the anti-Chavista Edmundo González as elected president.
The president of the Venezuelan Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, raised the idea of ”proposing to the Government of Spain that the Bourbon monarchy be abolished, which has served no purpose other than corruption, chaos, and expression. of the extreme right”, and then declared the point approved before the visible majority of raised hands in the plenary session.
