Leftists in Spain abandon Maduro, demand new elections for Venezuela president
DECLARED DICTATORSHIP! PSOE: Investiture of Maduro lacks legitimacyDolar Today / Jan 13, 2019
The Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) ruled on the swearing in of Nicolás Maduro that took place on January 10, as part of the second presidential term.
"The investiture of Nicolás Maduro lacks legitimacy because it is the result of elections without democratic guarantees," the party posted on its Twitter.
The party led by Pedro Sanchez said that they adhere to the statements of the High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Policy, Federica Mogherini.
The EU regretted that its request for new presidential elections in accordance with internationally recognized democratic norms and constitutional order has been ignored and that Maduro is beginning a new mandate based on undemocratic elections.
