The President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, once again urged the National Assembly plenary to enthusiastically approve an agreement requesting the Executive branch to sever diplomatic, commercial, and consular relations with the Kingdom of Spain.
"Patience has a limit, and the precise limit is the one where exceeding those limits means affecting our sovereignty and independence. Therefore, I ask you to enthusiastically approve an agreement, indignant, but at the same time conscious of the value of the glory we have inherited from our liberators, an agreement in which we peremptorily request that the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela sever diplomatic, commercial, and consular relations with the Kingdom of Spain," Rodríguez stated.
"Just as we have a genetic mark of respect, decency, dignity, and parsimony, we also have a genetic mark of respect for our sovereignty and our independence," Rodríguez argued.
It is worth noting that on September 12, Jorge Rodríguez, in the plenary session of parliament, asked the Foreign Policy Commission for an immediate meeting to draft a resolution to be approved by the plenary session in a peremptory manner, to request “the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to immediately break all relations” with the European country.
"All representatives of the Government of the Kingdom of Spain must leave here. and all the consulates and all the consuls and we bring our own people from there, so they can keep their murderers, their coup plotters, their fascists, their violent people," he said on that occasion.
It should be noted that the insistence of the Venezuelan parliament on breaking relations with Spain responds to the approval by the Spanish Congress to recognize the ultra-rightist, Edmundo González Urrutia, who fled to Madrid after evading Venezuelan justice, as president-elect, disrespecting the will of the Venezuelan people and in repudiation of the interventionist actions of the Kingdom of Spain.
Rodríguez promised to detail everything concerning what was agreed upon with the former candidate for the presidential elections of July 28, Edmundo González Urrutia, calling him a coward for breaking his word and “leaving the Spanish ambassador in Caracas in a bad light.”
The European Union's representative for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, told EFE on Tuesday that the solution to the crisis in Venezuela would be found after "international pressure," to which Rodríguez responded: "You're an idiot, you say that about Venezuela whenever you feel like it (...) (Borrell) considers himself entitled to lecture us," he said.
"Spain, the European Union, the Spanish courts and the Spanish government are not involved in Venezuela's internal affairs," Rodriguez warned.
The Spanish Crown: Cradle of Corruption
Ironically, in response to the interference in Venezuela, the president of the National Assembly proposed to the plenary session that they urge the Spanish government to abolish the Spanish monarchy, considering it an institution linked to corruption and an "expression of the far right," as well as to vote on agreements for the independence of Catalonia and the Basque Country.
Rodríguez also raised the idea of repudiating the resolution promoted "by the fascist right wing of the Spanish Congress" and demanding respect for the decision of the Venezuelan people, following the Spanish Congress's decision to disavow Nicolás Maduro's popular victory as president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. He therefore again urged the Executive Branch to consider severing diplomatic, consular, and commercial relations with the Kingdom of Spain.
"It seems that there is a sector of Spanish politics that has not forgiven the defeat Venezuela inflicted on it with independence 200 years ago," he said, emphasizing that "Spain has become a refuge for criminals and murderers. How can it be justified that the Spanish Congress arrogates extraterritorial status to itself and decides to replace the Electoral Power of Venezuela?" he asked.
The agreement proposes to the Spanish government "that the Bourbon monarchy be abolished, as it has served no purpose other than corruption, chaos, and the expression of the far right," said Rodríguez, who declared the point approved before the visible majority of hands raised in the plenary session.
In his opinion, the Crown is "a ridiculous institution, based on something as barbaric as blood rights."
"It's a shame that in 2024, well into the XNUMXst century, there are still human beings and political and social organizations that believe that some people are destined, by blood, to meddle with a country's public treasury. It's savagery, it's a barbaric expression," he continued.
Rodríguez spoke about the possibility of Parliament voting on other political agreements to declare the independence of Catalonia and the Basque Country.
