The Spanish Senate has approved a motion urging the government to recognize Edmundo González Urrutia as the legitimate president of Venezuela, following the elections on July 28. This move, led by the Popular Party (PP), mirrors a similar initiative passed in the Congress last week.
The Senate's motion also calls for the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Nicolás Maduro, citing crimes against humanity.
The proposal, although not legally binding, highlights the political tensions between the PP and the ruling government, as well as within the European Parliament, where the European People's Party is pushing for EU-wide recognition of González.
The motion has sparked debates about Spain's foreign policy and its implications for international relations, particularly with the EU's stance on Venezuela.
