The widespread international rejection of fugitive from Venezuelan justice Leopoldo LĂłpez was evident last Monday, December 13, in Madrid, where students received him at the Complutense University with slogans of “fascists out of the university,” prior to LĂłpez’s participation in an event alongside Yunior GarcĂa, fugitive from Cuba.
“Fascists out of the university!,” “LĂłpez, murderer!”, and âout with the Miami coup plottersâ were among the slogans written on banners and shouted by students in the political science faculty of Complutense University of Madrid.
Numerous students gathered on the campus to reject the presence of the two fugitives from justice, both known to promote destabilizing plans against the leftist governments of their respective nations.

After moments of tension, the students managed to enter a Complutense de Madrid classroom with the aim of preventing Leopoldo LĂłpez and Yunior GarcĂa from speaking there, and thus stop the extreme right. However, the organizers of the event expelled them from the building.

Both Leopoldo LĂłpez and the Cuban Yunior GarcĂa arrived in Spain after “escaping” from their respective countries with the complicity of the authorities of Spain, where they dedicated themselves to putting together new conspiratorial plans.

It is worth remembering that Yunior GarcĂa is a US financed “activist” against the government of Miguel DĂaz-Canel, and has dedicated himself in recent months to promoting violent demonstrations against the Cuban government. He then started a campaign about his alleged disappearance that ended with his arrival in Spain with his wife, using a tourist visa on a regular flight.
For his part, Leopoldo LĂłpez fled Venezuela in 2020, where he was hiding in the diplomatic headquarters of Spain, following the last failed coup he organized with former deputy Juan GuaidĂł on April 29, 2019.
Rejection of the presence of Leopoldo LĂłpez
Acts of rejection against the Venezuelan opposition leader are increasingly common, not only in Spain. Recently, he was greeted in Chile with demonstrations that labeled him as a coup plotter, criminal, and murderer.
LĂłpez arrived in Santiago de Chile to meet with representatives of the extreme right, in the midst of the electoral campaign for the second round of the presidential elections, and was greeted with a volley of eggs.
