This Wednesday during the first Congressional session of his government, the president of the Spanish government, Pedro SĂĄnchez, treated the Venezuelan deputy Juan GuaidĂł as “the opposition leaderâ, which seems to make clear the new position of Spain towards Venezuela.
Pedro SĂĄnchez rebaja el estatus de GuaidĂł y lo califica de "lĂder de la oposiciĂłn", a un año tras reconocerlo como "presidente encargado" de Venezuela https://t.co/Hv4rK2XwnN

Faced with questions about the meeting of the Spanish Minister of Transportation, JosĂ© Luis Ăbalos, with the Venezuelan Vice President, Delcy RodrĂguez, at the Barajas airport, the Socialist president stressed that âĂbalos did his jobâ, since Spain is committed to a Venezuela where âmeeting, democracy and reconciliation” prevails.
Spanish political parties such as the Republican Left of Catalonia, Bildu and Unidos Podemos, led by the current vice-president of the Spanish government, Pablo Iglesias, have opposed Spain considering GuaidĂł the “president in charge” of Venezuela since 2019.
