Yván Gil’s last attack against Alberto Núñez Feijóo

The chancellor of Venezuela, Yván Gil, accused this Friday the leader of the opposition Popular Party (PP) of Spain, the conservative Alberto Núñez Feijóo, of supporting “violent solutions” for a change of government in the country, after the politician will show solidarity with the standard-bearer of majority anti-Chavismo, Edmundo González Urrutia, asylum in the European country.

“Their ignorance of history also reflects their ignorance of our reality, supporting violent solutions for a ‘regime change’, recognizing parallel puppet governments of Western imperialism,” Gil said in a post on Telegram.

The official indicated that Núñez Feijóo “does not realize that the Spanish empire was expelled by an army of barefoot and ragged llaneros, that during the war of independence almost half of the Venezuelan population offered their lives for independence from a criminal empire and genocidal.

The leader of the PP claimed this Friday, in his speech at the La Toja-Vínculo Atlántico Forum, the Ibero-American bond, highlighting that there is a Hispanic community of nations based on history, culture, language, affections and common interests.

«As a Spaniard, I claim the history that my ancestors wrote in America. As a Spaniard I am proud of our king, who gives stability and prestige to Spain throughout the world. And of course, as a Spaniard, I refuse to apply value judgments that are 500 years late,” he said.

Regarding the Venezuelan crisis, Núñez Feijóo stressed that “the desire for freedom is not extinguished no matter how much the desire is hidden, results are falsified or dissidents are persecuted.”

After expressing solidarity with González Urrutia, he included a call to protect democracies from the threats that threaten them.

He stressed that “the attraction of liberal democracy is too strong to be stifled by the autocrat or whoever has the vocation to be one.”

“Edmundo González Urrutia, elected president of Venezuela, is here to prove it,” he said, addressing the Venezuelan opposition leader, present in the room..
