US and Spain Deny Plotting Against Maduro
Spain recognized Edmundo González as president of Venezuela. Although the majority of Congress achieved this without the support of the left, especially the socialist government. This support for the opposition, along with a double arrest in Venezuela, increases the theories that Spain (together with the US) is conspiring against Maduro.
However, the governments of both countries denied this at diplomatic level. Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Spain denied the accusation of being involved in a “political destabilization operation” in Venezuela.
State Department denies any involvement
He also “absolutely rejected any suggestion” by the Venezuelan government that Spain “was going to supply mercenaries” for an alleged operation led by the United States. The US State Department has denied any involvement by Washington.
