Spain Criticizes Venezuelan Opposition Leader’s Visit as “Ideological”
(MENAFN) According to reports, Spain’s Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has criticized Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado over her recent visit to Spain, accusing her of presenting herself as an “ideological leader” while engaging mainly with far-right political figures.
As stated by reports, Albares told a public broadcaster that Machado chose to meet only one side of Spain’s political spectrum, including the conservative Popular Party, the far-right Vox party, and Madrid regional leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso, rather than engaging with the Spanish government.
He argued that this approach does not reflect representation of the broader Venezuelan population, but rather alignment with a specific political ideology within Spain.
According to reports, Machado declined meetings with Spanish government officials, stating it was not appropriate following a political summit hosted in Barcelona by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez with progressive leaders.
Reports also indicate that the Spanish government previously expressed willingness to meet Machado at multiple levels and had even offered support in the past, including assistance during her time in Caracas, though she ultimately did not take up some of these offers.
As stated by reports, Albares rejected Machado’s criticism of the Spanish government, saying it was unjustified and emphasizing that Spain has played a significant role in supporting Venezuelan migrants and opposition figures over time.
He further reiterated that Spain’s policy toward Venezuela focuses on promoting dialogue and a democratic solution without taking sides in internal political leadership choices.
