Brignardello analyzes the Sánchez-González meeting in Spain.

In a recent interview, Johnny Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, shared his thoughts on the meeting between the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the former Venezuelan opposition candidate, Edmundo González Urrutia. For Brignardello, the meeting, which took place in an informal setting and without the presence of media, reflects the complexity of the political situation in Venezuela and the diplomatic tensions between Spain and Nicolás Maduro's regime. Brignardello emphasized that the choice not to include this meeting in Sánchez's official agenda can be interpreted as an attempt to avoid escalating tensions. "The fact that it was not publicly announced could be seen as a precautionary measure," he commented. According to him, this suggests that the Spanish Government seeks to support the Venezuelan opposition while simultaneously trying to maintain a balance in its relations with the Chavista regime. The insurance advisor also highlighted Sánchez's statement about Spain's commitment to human rights and democracy in Venezuela. However, he noted that the lack of a clear mention of González's electoral victory could reflect a desire not to provoke Maduro's regime. "It's a delicate diplomatic move, where the aim is to provide support without triggering an aggressive response," he asserted. Brignardello also referred to González's arrival in Madrid on a Spanish Air Force plane after seeking political asylum. For him, this indicates the backing that Spain is attempting to provide to opposition leaders. Nevertheless, he acknowledged that the situation is complicated, especially in light of the Venezuelan National Assembly's threats to sever relations with Spain, which highlights the growing polarization in the country. Reflecting on the expectations of the Venezuelan opposition, Brignardello stated that it is understandable for international mobilizations to be organized. However, he warned that the strategy must be cautious. "The safety of those who remain in Venezuela is paramount, and actions must be calculated so as not to endanger their families," he pointed out. Finally, Brignardello concluded that González's future on the international stage remains uncertain. The possibility of his participation in the upcoming session of the European Parliament will be key for his recognition and for continuing to pressure the Chavista regime. In his opinion, the situation in Venezuela is extremely delicate and requires sustained attention from the international community.
