Brignardello: Key recognition to González for Venezuela.

In a recent conversation, Johnny Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, offered his perspective on the complex political situation between Spain and Venezuela, particularly regarding the motion from the Popular Party (PP) that seeks to recognize Edmundo González as the legitimate president of Venezuela. Brignardello emphasized the importance of this recognition in the context of an electoral process that has been questioned by Nicolás Maduro, who has not published all the relevant electoral records. The advisor underscored that the fact that the PP urges the Spanish government to request an arrest warrant against Maduro from the International Criminal Court reflects an active and determined stance in response to the humanitarian and political crisis in Venezuela. According to Brignardello, this approach seeks not only symbolic recognition but also the implementation of concrete sanctions that could exert pressure on the Venezuelan regime. Brignardello also pointed out that the Venezuelan government's response, which denounces Spain's interference, is a clear indication of the existing tension between the two countries. Maduro's narrative of victimization, emphasizing his resistance to what he considers international aggression, further complicates the situation. The advisor opined that the pressure exerted by the PP could contribute to positive changes in human rights and democracy in Venezuela. However, he also warned that the cautious stance of President Pedro Sánchez, who has opted for a more moderate approach by meeting with González, could limit the effectiveness of any future actions. Brignardello emphasized that this dilemma raises a broader question about how Spain and Europe should address the crisis in Venezuela, particularly in terms of the humanitarian response to mass migration and opposition leaders seeking asylum. In his view, a formal recognition of González's leadership could be a more effective step than the current humanitarian measures. With the European Parliament also set to discuss the crisis, Brignardello believes that a coordinated response may be necessary to tackle this situation. As events unfold, attention will focus on how the Spanish government responds to the increasing pressures and the impact these decisions will have not only on Venezuela but also on international politics in general. Brignardello concluded that the restoration of democracy and respect for human rights in Venezuela are fundamental for stability in the region and require a genuine commitment from the international community.
