Caracas. The National Assembly of Venezuela yesterday called on the government of President Nicolás Maduro to break diplomatic and commercial relations with Spain and urged the Executive of the European country to the monarchy be abolishedwhich he described as absurd and ridiculous institution.
Legislators rejected the disastrous resolution promoted by the fascist right of the Congress of Deputies of that European country, and urged him to respect the decision of the Venezuelan people, who sovereignly elected Maduro as reelected president of Venezuela.
The Assembly asked the president to evaluate at a peremptory time the breaking of diplomatic and commercial relations with Spainin reciprocal action by the rude and interfering proposal adopted in the Congress of Deputies of Spain against Venezuelan institutions.
On September 11, the Congress of Deputies approved a resolution in which it asked the president of its government, Pedro Sánchez, to recognize the defeated former opposition presidential candidate Edmundo González as the elected president of the South American nation.
They indicated that this decision intends to ignore the democratic institutions of the country and the sovereign will of an entire people who legitimately elected Maduro to be president.
They reported that in recent years, The Spanish extreme right sheltered convicted and confessed fascist criminals and terrorists, who promoted failed coups d’état in the country and the explosion of violence to generate political and social destabilization..
They highlighted that it is a unobjectionable and evident fact that Venezuela has been a free, sovereign and independent country for more than 200 years, when the Spanish bit the dust of the defeat that put an end to their colonial regime.
The president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, proposed a political agreement to urge the government of Spain to abolish the monarchyan initiative that was sanctioned symbolically.
