Spanish solidarity groups celebrated the president’s re-election and offered their support to the Venezuelan people.

Solidarity groups in Spain celebrated the victory of Nicolás Maduro on Monday and spoke out against fascism in Venezuela and the attempted coup.

They also celebrated the president’s re-election and offered their support to the Venezuelan people in the face of the fascist and imperialist attack, which began after the legitimate and conclusive popular victory was not recognized.

The event was attended by Pedro Barea, from the Bolivarian Platform of Solidarity with Venezuela; Vanessa Pérez Gordillo, from Voces en Lucha, and the United Left’s International Relations Officer, Fran Pérez, who were part of the electoral accompaniment program in the elections of July 28, 2024 in Venezuela.

They also provided evidence of their experience during the election day, which was conducted regularly and transparently, as well as with the safe implementation of guarantees and audits of the Venezuelan electoral system.
