The Ursula von der Leyen Commission defends giving a leading role to the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, Maria Corina Machadoand the one considered the winner of the 2024 presidential elections, Edmundo González, in the process of democratic transition in Venezuela after the US military operation that resulted in the arrest of Nicolás Maduro.
The European Union thus distances itself from the North American president, Donald Trumpwhich has ruled out Machado as the future leader of Venezuela because, according to him, he has “no support or respect within the country.” Instead, the Republican is betting on leaving Maduro’s number two in charge, Delcy Rodriguez.
In any case, Brussels has not wanted to say whether or not the US intervention in Venezuela respected international law, nor has it commented on Trump’s plans for Venezuela. “These events create the opportunity for a democratic transition in Venezuelathat it be led by the Venezuelan people,” the spokesperson for the community Executive, Paula Pinho, said this Monday.
Who is now going to be the reference for the EU in Venezuela? Who is the legitimate government, now that Trump says he is going to lead the country? “I would like to mention the opposition, and in particular Edmundo González and also María Corina Machado, who have fought tirelessly for democracy and human rights in Venezuela“, responded the Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Anitta Hipper.
“In addition, they led the Venezuelan people in 2024 to peacefully exercise their right to vote. There are millions of Venezuelans who have voted for change and that they supported Edmundo González by a significant majority, according to the information available. Therefore, the next steps must focus on dialogue towards a democratic transition, which must include Edmundo González and María Corina Machado,” the spokesperson insisted.
