  • The arrest of Nicolás Maduro by the U.S. has stirred responses in Spanish politics.
  • The PSOE viewed this action as a violation of international law, while the PP initially supported it, but later expressed doubts about its legality.
  • There is an internal conflict in Spain reflected in the responses of the two parties.
  • Spain maintains historical links with Venezuela and has tried to mediate in the past between Chavismo and the opposition.
  • The U.S. intervention does not guarantee a democratic or peaceful future in Venezuela.
  • Spain has urged other countries to reject unilateral U.S. actions and offered itself as a mediator in this conflict.

Conclusion: The U.S. intervention in Venezuela signals a major shift in international politics that cannot be ignored by Spanish or European politicians. Moreover, it adds a new level of uncertainty in the political context of Venezuela and opens a debate on international interventions and their legality.
