The National Assembly of Venezuela has rejected Spain's recognition of Edmundo González as the legitimate president, escalating diplomatic tensions between the two nations.
The arrest of two Spanish citizens in Venezuela accused of involvement in a plot to assassinate President Maduro has further strained relations, prompting calls for explanations from Spain.
Spain's Popular Party is pushing for recognition of González as president, while the Venezuelan government threatens to cut diplomatic ties.
- The situation between Spain and Venezuela has deteriorated sharply since Edmundo González was granted asylum in Spain, with both countries taking increasingly aggressive stances against each other.
- The Venezuelan government has accused Spain of harboring terrorists, while Spain has called for transparency regarding the recent elections in Venezuela, which were marred by allegations of fraud.
- The European Union has also requested the release of electoral records to validate the election results, further complicating the diplomatic landscape.
