• Basque tourists Andrés Martínez and José María Basoa were detained by the Maduro regime under charges of terrorism and conspiracy.
• They have been transferred to Rodeo 1, a jail with a history of human rights violations.
• Despite the discreet initiatives by the Sanchez Government, the treatment of the detainees has not improved.
• Spain has shown connivance with the Maduro regime tolerating coercions and other undemocratic actions.
• There are 14 other Spanish political prisoners in Venezuela. The effectiveness of the Spanish government's strategy is questionable.

Conclusion: The situation of political prisoners in Venezuela is severe and denotes a lack of effectiveness in the initiatives of the Sánchez government. Rather than benefiting democracy in Venezuela, Spain has displayed a dangerous connivance with the Maduro regime.
